In general, tofu is obtained by steaming soy milk from green soybean juice before boiling the green soybean milk obtained by crushing soybeans with a grinder and boiling to obtain steamed soy milk, or by boiling the soy milk juice and filtering it to obtain steamed soy milk. When a suitable amount of coagulant (salt water, etc.) is added to steamed soy milk and mixed, the soy milk is coagulated to make a soft tofu. Then, the soft tofu is poured into a tofu mold and manufactured through a series of manufacturing processes.

Conventional tofu manufacturing apparatus has a soaking process for soaking soybeans in water, a grinding process for crushing soybean beans to obtain green soybean juice, a non-filtration process for filtering sebum from green soybean juice, and a soymilk steaming process for boiling soybean milk filtered with soybeans. , Soymilk input process where steamed soymilk is discharged into soymilk coagulation container, Soymilk coagulation process by coagulating soymilk by adding and mixing coagulant (salt water) in soymilk coagulation container, Soft tofu solidified in soymilk coagulation container It is configured to make tofu by sequentially connecting each manufacturing process such as tofu and compressing tofu molding process.

If the tofu is produced without removing the foam, it may cause various problems such as deterioration of the taste of the tofu, and also to remove the foam generated when adding soymilk before adding the coagulant to the soymilk coagulation container. The operation is difficult and difficult, especially because it takes a lot of time to remove the foam, there is a problem that the manufacturing time of the tofu is lengthened by that time. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the tofu manufacturing industry has proposed a method of mixing the defoamer which is harmless to the human body with soy milk to prevent foaming when the soy milk is put into the soymilk coagulation container. It is a situation to manufacture.

However, the antifoaming agent is a chemical that is harmless to the human body, but on the contrary, it does not provide any nutritional benefit to the human body. In particular, foaming occurs in the well-being food age, which prefers organic foods and refrains from using artificial seasonings. Tofu foods prepared by mixing antifoaming agents to suppress this problem is a trend that people are far from, so the tofu food industry is in a hurry to develop a device that can make tofu without using the antifoaming agent in the tofu manufacturing process. .
