Abstract

It is intended to provide a soy protein gel which has such gel properties that have never been obtained hitherto and is excellent in taste and color tone, and a soy protein food taking advantage of the gel properties. It has been found out that gel properties can be modified at an extremely elevated level and thus the desired soy protein gel can be obtained by preparing a gel by using a soy protein material in which the lipophilic protein content is reduced and conducting the gelation with the utilization of not only heat but also the action of a protein crosslinking enzyme.
