The invention discloses citrus steamed fish sauce and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of food
fermentation engineering. According to the citrus steamed fish sauce disclosed by the invention, the technology that soybeans, flour,
bran, citrus peels and purple perilla are used as
starter propagation raw materials and
aspergillus oryzae 3.042 and
aspergillus niger 3.350 cooperate for
starter propagation is adopted, at the middle stage of fermenting soy sauce mash,
saccharomyces rouxii is added, and at the later stage, torulopsis bombicola is added. The
aspergillus niger has higher
cellulose activity,
lipase activity and
pectinase activity, and can achieve the
enzyme system complementary effect with the
aspergillus oryzae 3.042. The activity of the
cellulase, the activity of the
lipase and the activity of the
pectinase obtained at the stage of
starter propagation are higher, the
cellulase, the
lipase and the
pectinase are used for decomposing the citrus peels and the purple perilla and promoting the release of various active substances in the citrus skins and the purple perilla. The addition of the two kinds of salt resistant fragrance-producing yeasts at the middle stage and the later stage of
fermentation can promote the formation of
flavor substances of the steamed fish sauce, improve the
flavor of the steamed fish sauce and increase the kinds of the
flavor substances.
