What it is
Fermented soybeans and wheat is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine, particularly in soy sauce and other fermented bean products. The process involves fermenting soybeans, often with wheat, using microorganisms like Aspergillus mold and various yeasts and bacteria over a period of weeks or months.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use fermented soybeans and wheat primarily as a flavoring agent, providing a savory, umami taste. It is frequently found in marinades, sauces, dressings, and processed meat or seafood products where a rich, complex flavor is desired.
Health notes
Fermented soybeans and wheat are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. While specific evaluations by JECFA or EFSA on this exact combination are not readily available, fermented soy products are widely consumed. Some research explores the potential health benefits of fermented foods due to the presence of probiotics and altered nutrient profiles, though more peer-reviewed studies are needed to confirm these effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
This ingredient contains soy and wheat, both of which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten due to the wheat component.
