Method for preparing solid foodstuffs

摘要

Solid foodstuffs, such as cheese-like foodstuffs, are prepared from soybean protein, casein, oils and/or fats and water by first intimately mixing the soybean protein with water to entirely wet or hydrate the soybean protein prior to or separately from melting the casein by heating the system to an elevated temperature with agitation. In spite of the agitation with heating, the solid foodstuffs produced by the method have a smooth body which is free from a sandy feeling, dryness and crumbling and also has an excellent melting feeling to the tongue and mouth.
