Q8:What Causes Tofu to Break Easily?
Tofu may break easily when its protein structure is too weak or when too much pressure is applied during production. Common causes include low soymilk concentration, insufficient heating, incorrect or uneven coagulant addition, improper coagulation temperature, excessive mixing, insufficient setting time, or uneven pressing. Tofu may also crack or break if it is removed from the mold, cut, or handled before it has fully cooled and formed a stable structure.
