PURPOSE:To obtain the titled food of a desired shape without causing denaturation of food and deterioration of taste, by coating a frozen material of a fluid food with a solution containing a Ca component, refreezing the coated material and bringing the refrozen material into contact with an aqueous solution of an alginate to form a film of calcium alginate on the surface of the food. CONSTITUTION:A fluid food raw material such as soybean milk, fruit juice, etc., is frozen into a desired shape. Then the frozen material is coated with a solution containing a Ca component such as a solution obtained by dissolving calcium chloride in the food raw material and the coated material is immediately frozen. Successively the frozen material is brought into contact with an aqueous solution of an alginate so that an insoluble film of calcium alginate is formed on the surface and optionally the frozen material is thawed to give the aimed food. |
