Cara Pembuatan tahu dari awal hingga jadi tahu dan ampas tahu

Summary

The video provides an in-depth look at the process of making tahu (tofu) and tempe, starting from the selection of high-quality soybeans to the final stages of production. It details the various stages, such as soaking, grinding, cooking, and filtering the soybeans. The importance of using steam-powered equipment for cooking and processing is highlighted. Additionally, the script explains the byproducts like soybean residue (ampas), which are repurposed as animal feed. The process also emphasizes the use of sustainable practices, such as proper wastewater management, and introduces innovative methods like tofu bakso production.

Takeaways

• 😀 The tofu and tempe production process begins with selecting high-quality soybeans, ensuring large, healthy beans for optimal results.
• 😀 Soybeans are soaked for at least three hours before grinding to ensure the best texture and soy essence.
• 😀 After soaking, the soybeans are ground into a paste, which is then cooked using steam for efficient heating and faster processing.
• 😀 The cooked soy paste is filtered, and the leftover soybean residue (ampas) is used as animal feed for livestock, demonstrating a sustainable approach.
• 😀 The process includes careful management of temperature and pressure during cooking to ensure consistent product quality.
• 😀 The factory utilizes a semi-automatic filtration system, although it can also use manual methods depending on available energy and conditions.
• 😀 Tofu is then pressed into molds, transforming it into a solid block that is ready to be packaged and sent to market.
• 😀 Environmental responsibility is a key factor, with wastewater being treated and reused instead of being discarded into rivers, maintaining eco-friendly practices.
• 😀 The company has a history of innovation, having previously collaborated with Japan in the 1990s to improve wastewater treatment and production methods.
• 😀 Additionally, the factory is working towards expanding its product line, including tofu-based products like tofu meatballs, utilizing steam for energy efficiency.
• 😀 The owner emphasizes the importance of using clean water sources, such as well water, to ensure the purity of the tofu and tempe products.

Q & A

What is the primary raw material used in tofu production in this factory?

The primary raw material used is soybeans, specifically from Kediri, known for their large and high-quality kernels.

Why is soaking the soybeans for three hours important in the tofu-making process?

Soaking the soybeans for three hours ensures that the beans are properly hydrated, which is necessary for producing a smooth and high-quality soybean paste.

How does the factory manage the waste produced during tofu production?

The waste, particularly the soybean pulp (ampas), is sold to local farmers as livestock feed. Additionally, wastewater is treated through a special system funded by a Japanese grant to prevent environmental pollution.

What role does steam play in the tofu-making process?

Steam is used to cook the soybean paste efficiently. The use of steam ensures that the paste is cooked evenly without burning, helping maintain the desired texture and flavor.

How is the soybean paste filtered in the tofu production process?

After cooking, the soybean paste is filtered to separate the soy milk from the soybean pulp. The soy milk is used to form the tofu, while the pulp is sold to farmers as animal feed.

What is the environmental impact of the factory's waste management practices?

The factory’s waste management practices have a positive environmental impact. Wastewater is treated and reused, preventing pollution of local rivers. The soybean pulp is recycled as animal feed, reducing overall waste.

What are the challenges faced by the tofu factory regarding raw material costs?

The factory faces challenges due to the rising cost of soybeans, which have become more expensive over time. Currently, the price per kilogram of soybeans has reached 11,000 IDR for retail and 9,800 IDR for bulk orders.

What are the future plans for the tofu factory in terms of product development?

The factory plans to introduce a new product, tahu bakso (tofu meatballs), which will be made using the same steam-powered method used for tofu, offering even cooking without burning.

How does the factory ensure that the tofu production process maintains consistency and quality?

The factory uses a standardized method for weighing the soybeans and processing them to ensure that each batch of tofu meets consistent quality standards. They also prioritize using high-quality soybeans.

How does the factory ensure the cleanliness and quality of water used in the tofu production process?

The factory uses water sourced from clean wells, ensuring that the water quality remains pure and free from contaminants, which is crucial for producing high-quality tofu.
