두부의 응고제와 침지액을 달리하여 저장 중 침지액의 미생물상과 이화학적인 변화를 검토하였다. 두부는 HAc로 응고시키는 것이 $CaCl_2$보다 저장성 향성에 효과적이었고 $CaCl_2$로 제조한 두부는 $30^{circ}C$에서 15-17시간만에 부패가 시작되어 세균수는 $10^7cells/ml$에 달하였다. 침지액은 0.1% HAc용액이 3% NaCl 용액이나 0.1% K-sorbate용액보다 두부저장에 효과적이었다. 침지액의 탁도는 두부가 부패함에 따라 비례적으로 증가하였으며 3% NaCl이나 0.1% K-sorbate 용액에 침지할 때 탁도의 증가는 심하였다. 두부의 부패가 진행될수록 침지액의 적정산도와 아미노태 질소량은 증가하였으며 pH는 1-2일 후에 증가하였다.
In order to improve the shelf life of Tofu, the effect of calcium chloride or acetic acid as coagulants were investigated for microbial and physicochemical changes during the storage in different kinds of soaking solution. The soaking water of Tofu prepared from calcium chloride was found to be spoiled after 15-17 hours of storage at $30^{circ}C$, by reaching the bacteria count to 10million per ml. The shelf life of the Tofu prepared from acetic acid was better than those prepared by calcium chloride. For the effect of soaking solution on storage life, soaking Tofu in 0.1% acetic acid was found to be more effective than soaking in other solutions of 3% NaCl or 0.1% K-sorbate. The optical density of soaking solution of Tofu increased in proportion to spoilage, and in case of soaked Tofu in 3% sodium chloride and 0.1% K-sorbate solution, it greatly increased. Titratable acidity, and amino nitrogen contents in soaking solution increased as spoilage of Tofu progressed, but pH decreased the early period, one or two days, of stored Tofu and then increased.
