Summary

Fracture stress of soybean curd was measured at temperatures between -20 and -196 deg C by compression tests. Fracture stress increased as the temperature decreased until it reached a characteristic temperature; below this temperature the fracture stress was constant. Fracture stress varied with the moisture content of the sample measured before freezing; the lower the moisture content, the higher the fracture stress.
