A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SEASONING SAUCE

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a seasoning sauce using one or more microorganisms usual for the production of soy sauces, a fungus-covered, enzyme-containing koji substrate of divided bread having a high wheat gluten content being initially mashed with an enzymatic, salt-containing wheat gluten hydrolyzate, whereupon the fermentation is carried out in several steps, starting at 30 to 35 DEG C, via 40 to 45 DEG C in a later step to room temperature in the last step, without further enzyme addition for a total of 1 to 8 weeks. The resulting seasoning sauce has a soy sauce-like taste but a lighter color and high nitrogen and glutamate contents. The fermentation period can be reduced by a special process control.
