두부의 품질을 고급화하고 다양화하기 위한 방안의 하나로 천연물을 첨가한 두부를 제조하여 기능성의 부여와 함께 기호성을 향상할 수 있는 천연물 첨가두부를 제조하였다. 천연물로는 클로로필과 카로티노이드를 가지고 있는 당근과 오이, 시금치 그리고 카테킨등에 의한 기능성이 확인된 녹차를 천연 첨가물로 선정하였다. 천연물 첨가두부의 수율은 무첨가 두부에 비하여 감소되었으나 색상에 의한 기호성의 증대를 확인할 수 있었다. 천연물 첨가에 따라 두부의 조직특성

Carrot, cucumber, spinach which contain carotenoid and chlorophyll pigment, and green tea which contain catechin were selected to natural materials. Although the yield of soybean curd with added natural materials were below than non-added soybean curd. Also, the additive natural materials in the soybean curd had no effect to the texture in soybean curd. The optimum concentration of added natural materials were high acceptability opposed to the non-containing soybean curd. The optimum concentration of added natural materials soybean curds was obtained : 4% of carrot, 10% of cucumber, 1.0% of spinach and 0.05% of green tea powder. And soybean curd with spinach and green tea addition had a longer shelf life because it prevented growing of bacteria in the early stage. Therefore, it could be possible to prevent the deterioration of soybean curd with added natural materials.
