Abstract

Several coagulants was investigated for their effects on shelf-life of packed Tofu. The titratable acidity, amino nitrogen content in Tofu and the optical density of Tofu suspension were increased as the spoilage developed during storage. The number of microorganisms was increased to 13 million cells per gram after 1 day of storage at $30^{\circ}C$ in the Tofu prepared with $MgSO_{4}\;and\;CaCl_{2}$. But, the Tofu prepared from acetic acid was found to be more stable for storage. The quality of Tofu was maintained up to 12 days or 18 days at $30^{\circ}C\;or\;15^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results suggested that acetic acid was desirable as a coagulant of packed Tofu to extend its shelf life.

두부의 저장성 향상을 위하여 응고제를 달리한 충진 두부를 제조하고 저장중 두부의 미생물상과 이화학적인 변화를 검토하였다. 충진두부는 초산으로 제조하는 것이 무기염류로 제조한 것보다. 저장성 향상에 효과적이어서 $MgSO_{4}$$CaCl_{2}$를 이용하여 제조한 두부(B)는 $30^{\circ}C$에서 1일 저장할 때 미생물수가 $1.3{\times}10^{7}CFU/g$에 달해 부패가 시작되나 초산으로 제조한 두부(A)는 $15^{\circ}C$$30^{\circ}C$에서 각각 18일, 12일 저장이 가능하였다. 두부의 부패가 진행될수록 적정산도와 아미노태 질소량은 증가하였고 마쇄한 두부 현탁액의 탁도도 증가하여 부패시에는 흡광도가 0.1 이상이었다.
