The present invention provides a food containing soybean component and
exhibiting smooth texture even on restoration to ordinary temperature
after freeze-up (including lyophilization); the food is produced by
mixing a soymilk coagulant (b) capable of coagulating a soymilk-like
liquid (a) and a gelling agent (c) capable of gelation of soybean curd
components on cooling with a soymilk-liquid (a) as well as mixing a
thickening treatment agent (d) derived from yam belonging to Dioscoreacea
and/or thickening heat treatment agent (e) derived from cheese whey,
optionally together with a shape loss preventing agent (f) derived from
an animal protein, thereafter heating the mixture to coagulation
temperature of the soymilk coagulant (b) or higher and finally cooling
the hot mixture.
