Summary

To determine the effect of high-pressure freezing on quality, kinu-tofu (soybean curd) was frozen at 100, 200, 340, 400, 500, 600 or 700 megapascals at about -20 deg C for 90 minutes. After reduction to atmospheric pressure, tofu was stored for 2 days at -30 deg C then thawed at 20 deg C. Texture and structure were compared with kinu-tofu frozen (-20, -30 or -80 deg C) at atmospheric pressure (0.1 megapascal). Results are given.
