PURPOSE:To obtain a product of TOFU (bean curd) having fineness and soft and smooth texture in producing the product of TOFU, by adding polyglutamic acid or an edible salt thereof. CONSTITUTION:In producing a product of TOFU such as cotton-strained TOFU or fried bean curd, polyglutamic acid obtained from an extract of NATTO (fermented soybeans) or by synthesis or an edible salt thereof such as sodium polyglutamate or potassium polyglutamate is added to the product. In the operation, polyglutamic acid or the edible salt thereof is added in the process from immersion of soybeans in water to immediately after addition of a coagulant to soybean milk. Consequently, the product of TOFU having fineness and soft and smooth texture can be produced without changing a taste. |
