The rheological behavior of four types of tofu was evaluated through compressive stress‐strain relationships, relaxation parameters, and percent recoverable work at different strains. It is shown that tofu's deformability mode, like that of sponges, is regulated by both the solid matrix properties and internal hydrostatic pressure. Because the latter is strongly affected by the specimen geometry and the deformation rate, the dependency of mechanical parameters on these factors should be considered as an inherent characteristic of tofu's texture.
