Soy Sauce
Most popular seasoning uses
Two types: japanese type and
chinese type
Japanese type (only in japan) soy
bean and wheat ratio (1:1)
Chinese type (china and SEA)- no or
little wheat
Soy Sauce
Fermentation (Koji and Moromi)
Role of Microorganisms in
Fermented Soy Sauce
Koji Fermentation
Moromi Fermentation
A. oryzae
Research Outlines
Inoculum Preparation
Koji Fermentation
Moromi or Brine Fermentation
Quality Assessment
Koji Fermentation
A.oryzae
Soy sauce at 4C
Brine Fermentation
(Koji 1: 2.5 Salt Solution)
Up to Six months
Autoclaving
pH
Reducing Sugar
Conclusion
Total Titrable Acidity-18% highest, 22%
lowest
May be better growth of microbes(bacteria
and yeast) in 18% and lower growth in 22%
pH value range from 4.8 to 5.4, acceptable
range for normal soy sauce
Reducing sugar content- 22% also loweststill investigation for longer fermentation
time
Fermentation is successful due to production
of sugar and acid
Future Work
To make spore inoculum
Investigation continue until 6 months
fermentation time
To analyze total nitrogen content of
soy sauce
Isolation of yeasts from processed
soy sauce
