The invention discloses a method for improving the quality of marinated bean curd through a WOW
emulsion type controlled-release coagulator, and aims to overcome the defects of rough bean curd gel network and poor
water binding capacity caused by too
fast release of marinating liquid in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps: respectively preparing a composite inner water phase containing bittern tablets and
gluconic acid-
lactone, an
oil phase containing a hydrophobic emulsifier and a structured outer water phase containing water-soluble
polysaccharide; shearing and mixing the inner water phase and the
oil phase to prepare a primary W / O
emulsion, and homogenizing the primary W / O
emulsion and the outer water phase to prepare the W / O / W multiple controlled-release coagulator; and finally, adding into hot soybean milk, standing, incubating, squeezing and forming. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, physical isolation of the multiphase emulsion and chemical
phase change synergy of the double coagulators are utilized, so that the release rate of
magnesium ions is effectively delayed,
polysaccharide macromolecules directly participate in gel skeleton construction, a compact and uniform three-dimensional interpenetrating network is formed, the
water binding capacity of the bean curd is remarkably improved, the
dehydration rate is reduced, and the product is endowed with an excellent texture.
