Storage of Soybean Curd Prepared with Ozone Treated Soybean

오존처리 대두로 제조한 두부의 저장성

In order to improve the shelf-life of Tofu, the elimination of contaminated bacteria by ozone treatment was examined. Tofu prepared from ozone treated-soybean was investigated for microbial, physicochemical and sensory changes during storage at 20$^{\circ}C$ and 30$^{\circ}C$. As a result of treatment in ozonic water by 2~4ppm/sec for 3 hours, 90~98% of the total bacteria in material soybean for Tofu was eliminated. At 20$^{\circ}C$, control Tofu prepared from ozone treated-soybean was found to be spoiled after 72 hous. Titratable acidity and sensory changes of Tofu was increased as spoilage of Tofu was progressed, but pH was decreased at the first day of storage, and after that it was increased. At 30$^{\circ}C$, there was no remarkable difference between Tofu of control and Tofu prepared from ozone treated-soybean.
