要約:Tofu has captivated researchers’ attention due to its distinctive texture and enrichment in nutritional elements, predominantly soybean protein. Coagulants play a critical role in promoting coagulation during tofu production, directly influencing its texture, quality, and physicochemical characteristics. Currently, the impact of coagulant characteristics on coagulation, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remain unclear. This review provides a summary of research progress on salt coagulants, acid coagulants, enzyme coagulants, novel coagulants, polysaccharide additives, and various coagulant formulations. The coagulation mechanisms of various coagulants are also discussed. Accordingly, this paper seeks to offer reliable theoretical guidance for the development of novel coagulants and the realization of fully automated tofu production.
