Biochemical changes occurring during experimental soy sauce fermentations were described. Results revealed that, the contents of amino nitrogen, reducing sugars and enzyme activity were slightly lower in soy sauce prepared with bittern than with traditional one. No marked difference in pH was noted between the two types of soy sauce. %K Bittern %K fermentation %K soy sauce %U http://www.maxwellsci.com/jp/abstract.php?jid=AJFST&no=262&abs=12
