The invention relates to a
fermentation method of a fermented bean curd product, which ensures the quality and
flavor of the product by accurately controlling
raw material treatment,
fermentation conditions and an after-
ripening process. The method comprises the following specific steps:
raw material pretreatment: selecting non-transgenic soybeans with the
protein content of more than or equal to 40%, soaking,
grinding and boiling to prepare bean curd blanks with the
water content of less than or equal to 70%; in the primary
fermentation, a complex
microbial inoculant formed by mixing
mucor,
saccharomyces cerevisiae and
lactobacillus plantarum according to a ratio of 1: 1: 0.3 is inoculated on the surface of the bean curd pehtze, and fermentation is performed for 60 hours in an environment with the temperature of 28 + / -1 DEG C and the
relative humidity of 85% to form a
hypha layer with the thickness of more than or equal to 1 mm; performing secondary fermentation: loading the bean curd pehtze and rice
wine lees into a
ceramic jar in
layers according to the
mass ratio of 1: 2, controlling the
oxygen content to be less than or equal to 5%, performing sealed fermentation for 18 days, and turning over the pehtze once every 3 days during the period; in the after-
ripening treatment, a fermentation product is transferred into a
humidity control box with the
humidity being 75% and the temperature being 16 DEG C, ventilation is conducted twice a day for 6 days, and the final finished product needs to meet the quality standards that the
moisture content is smaller than or equal to 55%, the
amino acid nitrogen content is larger than or equal to 0.8 g / 100 g, and the cover expansion and juice
leakage rate is smaller than or equal to 0.8%.
