Summary
A profession that heats and coagulates soy milk made from soybeans, carefully scoops up the thin film (yuba) formed on the surface, and processes and manufactures it.
Description
Yuba manufacturing workers heat soy milk and lift the thin film (yuba) formed on the surface by hand or machine, performing processing such as drying and packaging. They handle everything from raw material selection to temperature and time management, quality inspection, and hygiene management, aiming to maintain product quality and ensure stable production. While employing traditional techniques, recent years have seen the incorporation of the latest manufacturing technologies and quality management methods, such as automation equipment and hygiene management standards (HACCP).
Future Outlook
Demand remains stable due to growing interest in traditional foods and health consciousness. Amid labor shortages from declining birthrates and aging population, automation of manufacturing processes and introduction of advanced quality management technologies are expected to progress.
