Bittern causes rapid coagulation which influences the quality of the tofu. Alternatively calcium sulfate, calcium chloride or other substances are also used. [5]
The formulation and manufacturing processes of topical gels are relatively simpler and more cost effective than other semisolid dosage forms. [5] [1] [8] The release profile of the gel can be modified by altering the properties of the gelator, allowing for continuous drug delivery.

Magnesium chloride (E511 [19]) is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk. In Japan it is sold as nigari ( にがり , derived from the Japanese word for "bitter"), a white powder produced from seawater after the sodium chloride has been removed, and the water evaporated.
