PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus by which an emulsified coagulant for Tofu, practically stably holding a W/O emulsified state without using an emulsifier by using an aqueous solution of an immediate effect coagulant for the Tofu and a food oil and fat produced by a general oil-squeezing and oil-manufacturing process.SOLUTION: The apparatus for producing the tofu coagulant comprises a liquid food oil pumping pathway H1 for sending the liquid food oil from a liquid food oil tank T1 by a metering pump P1, an aqueous coagulant solution pumping pathway H2 for sending an aqueous solution of the coagulant from an aqueous coagulant solution tank T2 by another metering pump P2, and an emulsion dispersion machine M1 for stirring and mixing the liquid food oil with the aqueous coagulant solution to form an emulsification phase. The liquid food oil pumping pathway H1 is connected with the aqueous coagulant solution pumping pathway H2, and the aqueous coagulant solution in a predetermined ratio sent by the metering pump P2 is added to the liquid food oil sent by the metering pump P1 to produce the emulsified coagulant (excluding the one containing the emulsifier) in the W/O (water-in-oil) type.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】 乳化剤を用いることなく、豆腐用速効性凝固剤水溶液と、一般的な搾油・製油工程で製造された食用油脂とを用いて、W/O型乳化状態を実用上、安定に保持した乳化型豆腐用凝固剤が製造できる。【解決手段】 食用液体油タンクT1から定量ポンプP1によって食用液体油を送る食用液体油用の送液経路H1と、凝固剤水溶液タンクT2から定量ポンプP2によって凝固剤水溶液を送る凝固剤水溶液用の送液経路H2と、食用液体油と凝固剤水溶液とを乳化状態に攪拌混合する乳化分散機M1を備え、食用液体油用の送液経路H1に対して凝固剤水溶液用の送液経路H2を連結して、定量ポンプP1で送られる食用液体油に対して定量ポンプP2で送られる凝固剤水溶液を所定の割合で加えることで、W/O型(油中水滴型)の乳化させた乳化凝固剤(乳化剤を含むものを除く)を製造する。【選択図】 図1
