Abstract: A method of producing packed tofu that is easily released from the container, in which an aqueous ethanol solution or an aqueous solution of a magnesium salt and/or a calcium salt is previously applied to the inside of the container to be filled with soybean milk, or impact is given to a sealed container having tofu packed therein.

Abstract: A method for producing tofu is described which includes the step of detecting the concentration of a coagulant in soybean milk. The coagulant concentration is detected by a coagulant concentration detector disposed downstream of a stirring apparatus in a soybean milk transfer circuit. The amount of addition of the coagulant is controlled by a coagulant concentration adjuster in accordance with the coagulant concentration detected by the coagulant concentration detector. This enables the mass production of tofu having a bouncy taste and excellent flavor.

Abstract: The soybean milk containing a coagulant is primarily heated, packed into a molding container, and secondarily heated to complete coagulation. And, (1) the coagulated product (silken tofu) is transferred into a container for distribution, alternatively, (2) the coagulated product (silken tofu) is collapsed, and transferred into a draining container made of porous boards and pressed from the upper side to drain part of the water content, and the resulting momen tofu is transferred from the draining container into a container for distribution. Then, water is added to the container for distribution so as to allow the silken tofu or the momen tofu to sink under the water, followed by sealing.
