PURPOSE:To obtain a food raw material which is tasteless and odorless white powder having high water-retainability and excellent gelling property, and capable of highly absorbing perfumes and extracts, etc., by extracting dried bean-curd refuse with an organic solvent having fat-removing capability to extract the oil and fat from the refuse, removing the solvent from the refuse, and pulverizing the product. CONSTITUTION:Dried bean-curd refuse is extracted with an organic solvent having fat-removing capability (e.g. methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-hexane, etc.) to extract the oil and fat from the refuse. The solvent is removed from the refuse and the product is pulverized to obtain the objective material. The defatted bean-curd refuse is almost tasteless and odorless white powder having high water-retainability and gelling property, capable of highly absorbing perfumes and extracts, etc., and provided with excellent physical properties as a food raw material. For example, the material obtained by the extraction with an alcohol is a white odorless powder which can be added to all sort of foods. Especially, it contains a large amount of high-quality fibers, has strong swelling and water-retaining tendency, and when added to a food having delicate taste and flavor such as Japanese cakes, Western cakes, etc., increases the stiffness of the pastry and improves the processability without lowering the qualities of the cake. |
