What are the ingredients for soy sauce brewing

The raw materials for soy sauce brewing are soybeans, defatted soybeans, roasted wheat, flour, bran, and water.

1, soybeans

Soybeans are a plant rich in vegetable proteins, fats and many vitamins. Soybeans are rich in protein, and after fermentation, the protein is broken down into amino acids, increasing the flavor and texture of soy sauce.

Its nutrients and soybean compared to the most important is the low oil content, generally defatted soybean (soybean meal) in the residual oil rate of less than 1%, at the same time, some fat-soluble nutrients such as soybean phospholipids, vitamin E, soy sterols with the oil was raised, so that the proportion of protein content, the proportion of which can reach more than 45%.

3, roasted wheat

Wheat is rich in sugar substances can give soy sauce good aroma and sweet flavor. Wheat is roasted at high temperatures and then crushed to promote fermentation.

4. Flour

Flour, a powder made from ground wheat. According to the amount of protein content in the flour, it can be divided into high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour and gluten-free flour.

5, bran

Bran, that is, wheat bran, wheat flour by-products, wheat yellow, flaky or powdery. The end of the wheat hulls have part of the germ (that is, the part of the wheat germ), about 5-10% of the total wheat hulls.
