PURPOSE: To efficiently and hygienically obtain a fiber tofu (bean curd) containing a fiber and animal or vegetable protein mixture by steaming a bean curd refuse to soften, pulverizing and homogenizing the tofu refuse in a high pressure homogenizer to obtain a dispersion liquid of tofu refuse, and solidifying the liquid in a single state or with addition of soybean milk, milk, or egg. CONSTITUTION: A tofu refuse is steamed to soften, then pulverized till the grain size of the pulverized refuse becomes suitable to be injected into a homogenizer, and then homogenized in a high-pressure homogenizer under 1,500 to 10,000 psi pressure to obtain a tofu dispersion liquid. The obtd. dispersion liquid is spray dried in a single state, or with addition of soybean milk, milk or egg, to obtain a powder. Then a powder of sodium alginate is added by 0.2 to 20.0 wt.% to the obtd. powder, to which water is added by 9 to 10 times of the weight to dissolve the powder mixture. Then calcium sulfate as a solidifying agent and sodium phosphate as a solidification inhibitor are both added at one time to solidify the liquid. Thus, a fibrous tofu which can supply a fiber as an important nutrient for a human body and contains animal and vegetable mixture proteins can be efficiently and hygienically obtd. |
