Tofu is made by soaking, crushing, and cooking soybeans in soy milk. Then a coagulant, usually calcium sulfate or calcium chloride and glucono delta-lactone (called nigari in Japanese) is added. The soy milk then coagulates into a large block--It is called curd and is processed/used like cheese. It is popular as a meat substitute.

Tofu (bean curd or soy curd), is made up of soya milk and a coagulant.

It is produced by curding, (or coagulating)the soya milk, then pressing the resulting curd.

The coagulant could be:

  • salt = either Calcium sulfate (Gypsum)

or "Nigari" or "Lushui", a substance contains mainly magnesium chloride,

some magnesium sulfate, and other trace elements.

  • Acid = GD

  • Enzyme
