This abstract refers to an invention patent, for soy sauce production equipment and process, belonging to the field of the food product production media, such equipment comprised of: first set (100) comprised of: device (1), (2) to feed soybean and corn grains in their natural conditions and blended; cold-press extruder (3), receiving the soybean and corn grain blend in their natural conditions and obtaining homogeneous soy-corn agglomerate (5); size adjustment unit (6), adjusting the homogeneous soy-corn agglomerate 5 size and/or particle size; moisture adjustment unit (7); microorganism inoculation unit (8); and automated stove (9) responsible for the first fermentation for 40.00 to 72.00 hours of the crushed soy-corn mass, with adjusted moisture and inoculated with microorganism, after such fermentation the basic ingredient (koji) is obtained, which is then transferred to the second set (200), with usual construction, which processes the koji until finally obtaining the soy sauce.

A powder flavour composition comprising a compound according to the formula (I) or edible salts thereof, and at least one flavour co-ingredient ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl residue containing 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkene residue containing from 9 to 25 carbon atoms with 1 to 6 double bonds, R.sub.1 together with the carbonyl group to which it is attached is a residue of a carboxylic acid, and NR.sub.2R.sub.3, in which R.sub.3 is H or together with R.sub.2 and the N-atom to which they are attached, a 5-membered ring, is a residue of an amino acid, in particular a proteinogenic amino acid, ornithine, gamma-aminobutyric acid or beta alanine, or a 1-amino cycloalkyl carboxylic acid.

Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.

The invention relates to a heat-stable fermented white lentil beverage and process for preparing the same.

A method of producing natto includes inoculating a mutant strain of Bacillus subtilis var. natto onto steamed or boiled soybeans, and fermenting the soybeans inoculated with the mutant strain by maintaining a temperature of the soybeans at 40 C. to 53 C. The number of the mutant strain spores after fermenting the soybeans is 510.sup.5 or less spores per gram of the fermented soybeans. A single colony of the mutant strain cultured in a selective solid medium supplemented with biotin at a gas phase temperature of 49 C. for 48 hours has a region having a hue of yellow (Y), a value of 9 or more, and a chroma of 2 or less, as defined by the Munsell Color System, and a surface area of the region is 20% or less of the total surface area of the single colony.

The present invention relates to preparation of a plant-based fermented dairy alternative where the plant-based substrate is treated with an endopeptidase, preferably a specific endopeptidase selected from trypsin-like endopeptidase, lysine-specific endopeptidase or glutamyl-specific endo-peptidase. Further preferred is the combination with a phospholipase.
