Direct determination of free tryptophan contents in soy sauces and its application as an index of soy sauce adulteration

A simple and rapid HPLC method using UV detector for determination of tryptophan (Trp) contents in pure fermented soy sauces, acid-HVP, and commercial soy sauces was developed. The method requires only simple sample pretreatment. The limit of detection (LOD) is estimated at 1 mg/L (signal-to-noise ratio of 3), and the recovery yields ranged from 92% to 108%. The analysis showed that Trp in all of the analysed acid-HVP samples was not detected and there was obvious detection of Trp (ranged from 136.4 to 261.8 mg/L) in all of the analysed fermented soy sauce samples. The observations suggest that Trp is a practical index of pure fermented soy sauce. The absence of Trp contents or lower level of Trp contents than that in pure fermented soy sauces suggests the soy sauces are not pure fermented soy sauces or presence of soy sauce adulteration. Simultaneous determination of levulinic acid (LV) in samples may be a good help in making assessment of soy sauce adulteration with acid-HVP.     

3-Monochloro-1,2-propandiol (3-MCPD) in soy sauce from the Bulgarian market

The 3-monochloro-1,2-propandiol (3-MCPD) levels in soy sauces which contained hydrolysed vegetable protein were evaluated for the Bulgarian market. For analysis of 3-MCPD, a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was applied with a linear range of 0.03–2.00 μg mL^?1 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.3 μg kg^?1 and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 3.4 μg kg^?1. At these levels, the standard deviation was 5.1%, with recoveries between 81% and 102%. The method was applied to the analysis of 21 samples of soy sauce from the Bulgarian market. Results ranged from 3.7 to 185.6 μg kg^?1. Soy sauces produced from hydrolysed soy protein contained higher levels of 3-MCPD than naturally fermented sauces. In 38.4% of samples of Bulgarian origin, the 3-MCPD content was above the EU limit of 20 μg kg^?1. In all analysed samples, 33.3% had a 3-MCPD content above the EU limit.

Quantification of ethyl carbamate in soy sauce consumed in Korea and estimated daily intakes by age

To estimate the daily intake of ethyl carbamate (EC, a possible human carcinogen) from soy sauce consumed in Korea, 136 soy sauce samples were collected from various regions and analysed by gas chromatography/selected ion mode mass spectrometry (GC/SIM‐MS). The distribution of EC varied significantly among samples, ranging from not detected to 128.9 µg kg^?1, with the highest level in Japanese‐style soy sauce. Based on individual intakes in the Complementary Report on 1998 National Health and Nutrition Survey and EC contents analysed in the present study, the contribution of soy sauce to EC intake was estimated by multiplying the mean concentration of EC by individual soy sauce intake data. Daily intakes of EC kg^?1 body weight by high consumers were particularly high in age groups 1–2 years (78.59 ng), 3–6 years (86.37 ng), 50–64 years (86.24 ng) and ≥ 65 years (76.86 ng). Based on a benchmark dose confidence limit (BMDL) of 0.3 mg EC kg^?1 body weight day^?1, the margin of exposure (MOE) calculated from the daily intake of EC in soy sauce for high consumers ranged from 3488 to 7317, which is of concern. Daily EC intakes are likely to be exceeded in groups who consume other fermented foods as well as alcoholic beverages. Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry

Evaluation of non-volatile taste components in commercial soy sauces

The dominating non-volatile taste compounds in commercial brewed soy sauces were determined by HPLC and evaluated on the contributions to overall taste. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid accounted for 8.77 to 147.98 mg/mL in ten commercial soy sauces samples. Lactic acid (ranging from 0.83 to 13.19 mg/mL) and pyroglutamic acid (ranging from 0 to 12.80 mg/mL) were the dominant organic acids, contributing to the acidity and ensuring a balance in taste of soy sauces. 5?-Inosine monophosphate was the most abundant nucleotide, followed by 5?-guanosine monophosphate, and they accounted for 0.30 to 3.54 mg/mL in ten soy sauces. According to the determination of non-volatile taste compounds in soy sauce samples, taste activity value (TAV) and equivalent umami concentration (EUC) of different soy sauces were calculated and compared. An exclusive cluster analysis based on TAV was proposed to classify the commercial soy sauces. The EUC value of new class A is much higher than other classes.     

Profile of Volatile Compounds in 12 Chinese Soy Sauces Produced by a High‐Salt‐Diluted State Fermentation

There have been limited studies on the flavour compounds in Chinese soy sauces. In order to obtain wider information about the chemical composition of the volatile fractions in 12 brands of Chinese soy sauces produced by high‐salt‐diluted state fermentation (HSDSF) and to compare them, a headspace solid microextraction method coupled to gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (HS‐SPME‐GC‐MS) method was proposed and developed. A 50/30μm Divinylbenzene/Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fibre was used for extraction of volatiles. The adsorption time and temperature of the SPME fibre were optimized separately for various aroma compounds in the soy sauce (50°C and 40 min for alcohols and esters; 40°C and 50 min for ketones, aldehydes and pyrazines; 60°C and 50 min for acids, phenols and furans). From the study, a total of 80 compounds were identified in the 12 samples, of which 34 volatiles were in common. Alcohols and acids were the main volatiles present in the soy sauces. Dominant volatile alcohols were ethanol, 2/3‐methyl butanol and β‐phenylethyl alcohol; and important acids were acetic acid, butanoic acid, and 3‐methylbutanoic acid. Miscellaneous, esters, furans and phenols also made large contributions to the total volatiles of the soy sauces. According to the scatter point plot obtained from principal component analysis, the 12 soy sauces could be classified into four groups.

Determination and quantification of the kokumi peptide, γ-glutamyl-valyl-glycine,in commercial soy sauces

Recent studies have demonstrated that kokumi substances, such as glutathione, are perceived through the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), and screening by CaSR assay and sensory evaluation has shown that γ-glutamyl-valyl-glycine (γ-Glu-Val-Gly) is a potent kokumi peptide. In this study, the contents of γ-Glu-Val-Gly in six commercial brands of dark-coloured soy sauces, two brands of light-coloured soy sauce, and one brand of white soy sauce, were investigated by high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), followed by derivatization with 6-aminoquinoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-carbamate (AQC). The analyses indicated that γ-Glu-Val-Gly was present in all investigated soy sauces at concentrations ranging from 0.15 to 0.61 mg/dl, demonstrating that it is widely distributed in soy sauces.     

Isolation,characterization, and application of biogenic amines-degrading strains from fermented food

The aim of the present study was to screen a type of microorganism for degradation of bioamines in fermented food, investigate their characteristics in growth and degrading bioamines, and also assess the effects of inoculating strain starter cultures on biogenic amines (BAs) accumulation in soy sauces. The screening for no-BAs-producing strains was carried out using a double color method and an oxidase test. The degradation rates were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). In this study, strains (J2 and J3) with high ability were isolated from some naturally fermented food samples. They were identified as Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Millerozyma farinosa, respectively, by partial amplification of the 16S rRNA gene. The strains exhibited high multiple BAs degradation activity over a range of pH values (5–8), temperatures (28–35°C), salt (NaCl) concentrations (0–10%), and ethanol concentrations (0–10%). One of the isolated strains, W. anomalus, has the highest biodegradability for putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, and tyramine with degradation rates of 61, 66, 67, and 59% in an experimental model, and 39.3, 33.6, 39.9, and 43.1% in fermented soy sauce containing 10% of NaCl, respectively. Additionally, the study of mechanism demonstrated that the removal ability of BAs was mainly due to biodegradation.

A study of chemical characteristics of soy sauce and mixed soy sauce: chemical characteristics of soy sauce

Mixed soy sauce is one among the Korean traditional fermented soy sauces consumed as condiment for cooking in Korea, especially mixed soy sauce is made of the fresh seafood and the meat different from the soy sauce. Therefore, mixed soy sauce provides the strong and complicated umami taste, which is stronger than that of soy sauce. The objective of this study was to investigate for the chemical characteristics changes of mixed soy sauce in comparison with soy sauce during fermentation process (0, 120, 240 and 360 days) at different fermentation temperatures (4 and 20 °C), change in moisture, total nitrogen, crude fat, ash, pH, titratable acidity, total acidity, salt content and reducing sugar of mixed soy sauce in comparison with soy sauce. Especially, histidine, arginine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, and lysine, essential amino acid and among adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-related compounds, inosine (HxR) and hypoxantine (Hx) were prominent in mixed soy sauce at 20 °C. Otherwise, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) derivative and 3DG content were prominent in soy sauce at 20 °C. The content of 2,4-DNPH derivative and 3DG in soy sauce is correlated with its browning intensity.
