AI Technical Summary
The activity of acid proteases in the existing soy sauce brewing process is relatively weak, which is difficult to meet the requirements of many aspects. Traditional bacteria such as Shanghai Brew 3.042 have strong alkaline and neutral proteases but insufficient acid proteases, which affects the flavor and quality of soy sauce.
The combination of Aspergillus niger 3.324 strain and Shanghai brewing 3.042 strain was introduced to improve acid protease activity through the koji production and fermentation process, and enhance the protein utilization rate and flavor substance production during soy sauce brewing.
The color, aroma and taste of soy sauce have been significantly improved, and the protein utilization rate has increased from 61.62% to 65.97%. The production of soy sauce has increased, and the yield of all nitrogen and amino acid nitrogen in finished soy sauce has also increased.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food fermentation engineering, and in particular to a multi-strain soy sauce quality improving brewing process thereof. Background Art
[0002] At present, the strain widely used in the soy sauce brewing industry is Shanghai Brewing 3.042, which has strong alkaline and neutral protease activity, but weak acid protease activity, and high enzyme activity. It is difficult to find strains that meet multiple requirements. One way to solve this contradiction is to add acid protease-producing bacteria to participate in fermentation or mix and ferment.
[0003] In the prior art, for example, the invention patent with patent number CN105166844A discloses a brewing process of medium-salt dilute soy sauce, which adds sugarcane bagasse and corn stalk residue to the soy sauce brewing raw materials for the first time to promote fermentation and make the fermentation complete, while improving the squeezing efficiency of the soy sauce, shortening the filtration time, and reducing the production cost. In addition, sugarcane bagasse and corn stalk residue are widely available, inexpensive, and have a wide range of uses. However, the invention does not solve the problem of weak activity of acidic protease in the brewing process.
[0004] In the prior art, the invention patent with patent number CN109418933A proposes a method for brewing soy sauce with multiple strains of bean dregs. The invention uses raw materials such as bean dregs and bran, and cooperates with multiple microorganisms for fermentation. The production process of this invention includes steps such as raw material processing, koji making, fermentation, oil pouring, heating sterilization, precipitation clarification, and making finished products. The process is cumbersome and does not involve the protease-producing bacteria of various properties during soy sauce brewing. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings currently existing in the above-mentioned existing soy sauce brewing process, the present invention provides a multi-strain strain for improving the quality of soy sauce, and provides a soy sauce brewing process based on the multi-strain strain. Through the multi-strain strain and brewing process of the present invention, the protein utilization rate in the soy sauce brewing process is improved, and the total nitrogen output rate in the finished soy sauce is also improved. The color, aroma and taste of the finished soy sauce brewed according to the present invention are significantly improved.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives and the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-strain brewing process for improving the quality of soy sauce, comprising the following steps: S1: Raw material preparation: 60% soybean meal and 40% wheat bran are used as raw materials, and water is added for steaming; S2: Cooling and inoculation: Cool the raw materials to room temperature and inoculate the bacteria; S3: Making koji from the inoculated raw materials, turning the koji once at the 11th hour and the 16th hour; S4: Add hot salt water for fermentation: add hot salt water for fermentation; S5: Oil pouring: After fermentation is completed, use clean water to pour out the first, second and third oils, and take samples for component testing.
[0007] Furthermore, in step S1, 1 L of water is added per kg of soybean meal, and the cooking time is 15 minutes.
[0008] Furthermore, the strains inoculated in step S2 are Shanghai Brewing 3.042 and Aspergillus niger 3.324, the inoculation amount is 0.5% of the raw material, and the inoculation ratio is Shanghai Brewing 3.042 strain: Aspergillus niger 3.324 strain = 4:1.
[0009] Furthermore, the conditions for making koji with the strain in step S3 are: making koji at 30° C. for 36 hours.
[0010] Furthermore, the hot brine used in step S4 has a Baume degree of 13°, the hot brine temperature is the fermentation condition temperature, and the fermentation condition is fermentation at 50°C for 3 days.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality soy sauce, characterized in that it is made by the brewing process of claims 2-6 above.
[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. Aspergillus niger 3.324 was introduced into the traditional soy sauce brewing strain Huniang 3.042. Aspergillus niger 3.324 increased the acid protease in the soy sauce brewing process, making up for the shortcoming of weak acid protease activity in the traditional brewing method.
[0013] 2. Due to the enhanced activity of acidic protease, the utilization rate of protein in the acidic environment during the soy sauce brewing process is improved, more flavor substances are provided, and the quality of soy sauce is improved.
[0014] 3. The protein utilization rate in the soy sauce brewing process increased from 61.62% to 65.97%. At the same time, the actual output of soy sauce also increased, with the first-pass oil increasing from 790 mL to 1000 mL, and the second-pass oil increasing from 1000 mL to 1050 mL.
