Types of tofu include: marinated tofu, gypsum tofu, lactone tofu, and Japanese tofu.
1. Brined Tofu
Brined Tofu is made by adding brine as a coagulant during the processing of tofu so that the calcium and magnesium ions in the brine combine with the soybean protein in a coagulation reaction to mold the tofu. Brine tofu is harder and rougher in texture, but has a high calcium content and a good calcium supplement.
2. Gypsum tofu
Gypsum tofu is made with gypsum as a coagulant to make soy protein coagulate. Gypsum contains calcium sulfate, which has a low solubility in water, so gypsum tofu has a higher water content than marinated tofu, and a softer texture with a softer, more tender taste, but not as much calcium as marinated tofu.
3. Lactone tofu
Lactone tofu uses gluconolactone as a coagulant. While lactone tofu has the highest water content, it only gets its calcium from itself, making it the lowest of the three. However, it has a soft texture and a more delicate and tender taste than gypsum tofu.
