The invention provides a yin sauce and a preparation method thereof, and the method is characterized in that
aspergillus oryzae and
aspergillus niger are respectively subjected to independent
starter propagation with soybeans, the two obtained pure
starter strains are mixed, and then the mixture,
saccharomycopsis fibuligera and auxiliary materials are synchronously subjected to integrated
fermentation. According to the process, the problem that
aspergillus niger produces acid to inhibit the activity of
aspergillus oryzae neutral protease in mixed koji making is solved through
physical separation culture, and the total activity of
protease of the sauce koji is improved to the maximum extent; and the
saccharomycopsis fibuligera with efficient ester synthesis capability is inoculated at the initial stage of
fermentation, so that real-time
collaboration of mould enzymolysis and
yeast flavor metabolism is realized. According to the method, the
amino acid nitrogen content and the total ester content of the final product are remarkably improved, so that the product has mellow delicate
flavor and unique and rich ester
flavor, and the technical problems of single flavor and insufficient
synergy in the traditional process are solved.
