Abstract

A process for producing bean curd as placed in containers by heat-sterilizing an amount of soybean milk sufficient to prepare one lot of bean curd, storing the sterilized milk in a heat-insulating tank while cooling the milk at a temperature of up to 10.degree. C., admixing a coagulant with the milk as delivered from the tank, filling the mixture into containers, sealing off the containers, and heating the sealed containers to coagulate the mixture within the containers. The process is characterized in that the soybean milk delivered from the tank is preheated to a temperature of 18.degree. to 30.degree. C. before the coagulant is admixed with the milk.
