Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is a condiment produced by fermenting soybeans with Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus soyae molds along with water and salt. After the fermentation, which yields moromi, the moromi is pressed and 2 substances are obtained: a liquid, which is the soy sauce, and a cake of (wheat and) soy residue, the latter being usually reused as animal feed.[3] Most commonly, a grain is used together with the soybeans in the fermentation process, but not always. Also, some varieties use roasted grain. Soy sauce is a traditional ingredient in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, where it is used in cooking and as a condiment. In more recent times, it is also being used in Western cuisine and prepared foods.

The Microorganism Found in Soy Sauce


.Aspergillus oryzae: This fungus can also be used in addition to the sake brewing soy
sauce brewing. Strains(groups of microorganism) used in brewing soy sauce with high proteolytic capacity.

Aspergillus sojae: This fungus is also a strong ability to proteolysis. Aspergillus tamari: This mold is used to brew tamari. Bacillus spp.(genus): This organism is likely to grow soy sauce ingredients, bring to
generate odors and ammonia.

Lactobacillus species: This organism produces a lactic acid increases the acidity in the
feed.

Fermenting agents
The wheat-soy mixture is exposed to specific strains of mold called Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus soyae, which break down the proteins in the mash. Further fermentation occurs through addition of specific

bacteria (lactobaccillus) and yeasts which enzymatically react with the protein residues to produce a number of amino acids and peptides, including glutamic and aspartic acid, lysine, alanine, glycine, and tryptophane. These protein derivatives all contribute flavor to the end product.

Preservatives and other additives


Sodium benzoate or benzoic acid is added to help inhibit microbial growth in finished soy sauce. The non-brewed process requires addition of extra color and flavor agents.
