Abstract
The effects of pine needle powder (PNP) on the physicochemical characteristics of tofu were investigated, and consumer acceptance test was conducted. The pH, moisture content, and lightness and yellowness significantly decreased with increasing PNP concentration from 0 to 0.8% (P<0.05). Hardness increased significantly with increasing PNP concentration (P<0.05). Antimicrobial effects of PNP incorporated into tofu were also investigated. Antioxidant activities of control and produced tofu were compared based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents. DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol contents increased significantly (P<0.05) and were well-correlated. Tofu with 0.2% PNP is recommended (with respect to overall preference score) for taking advantage of the functional properties of PNP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.
