The present invention discloses
flaxseed meal natto and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
food processing, the
flaxseed meal natto is prepared from the following raw materials by weight: 16%-24% of
flaxseed meal, 76%-84% of soybeans, and
bacillus natto powder accounting for 0.4%-0.8% of the total weight of the soybeans and the flaxseed
meal. According to the flaxseed
meal natto and the preparation method thereof, 16-24% of flaxseed
meal and 76-84% of soybeans are mixed according to a
specific weight ratio to serve as a
fermentation substrate,
polyphenol substances rich in the flaxseed meal and volatile
nitrogen-containing compounds generated in the
fermentation process are subjected to a
Schiff base reaction, and the flaxseed meal natto is obtained. The method effectively reduces the unacceptable
ammonia odor in the traditional natto, endows the linseed product with special oil
crop fragrance, controls the inoculum size of the
bacillus natto powder to be 0.4-0.8% of the total weight of the soybean and the linseed meal, and combines the
process conditions of
fermentation at 34-43 DEG C for 18-26 hours to obtain the linseed natto. And the
bacillus natto maintains proper
metabolic activity under a
carbon source and a
nitrogen source provided by a proper amount of linseed meal.
