| Research Abstract |
In this study, we purposed the development of new tofu-like iron-fortified foods utilized for the improvement of iron-deficiency anemia and the understanding of the molecular mechanism for the formation of tofu precipitate . We showed the results of this study as described below. (1) Development of a regular tofu-like iron-fortified food, (2) Measurement of the texture of the food, (3) Determination of the role of metal ions in tofu formation, (4) Determination of the molecular mechanism for the destination of tofu into regular and silken tofu. About (1), we applied for a patent. About (2), the texture is similar to that of a general tofu made by adding magnesium chloride. About (3) and (4), two original papers was submitted three papers. In three papers, two papers were accepted and one is under examination.
