Product Introduction
Sauce Koji Essence is a fermented product made from koji, a traditional Japanese ingredient derived from the mold Aspergillus oryzae. It is known for its umami flavor and is commonly used in various culinary applications, particularly in Japanese cuisine. The essence captures the natural fermentation process where starches and proteins break down, creating a rich flavor profile that enhances dishes.
Production Process
The production of Sauce Koji Essence begins with the cultivation of selected grains, such as rice or barley, which serve as the base. These grains are inoculated with koji mold spores and allowed to ferment in a carefully controlled environment. During fermentation, the koji mold converts the starches in the grains into sugars and the proteins into amino acids, particularly glutamic acid, which is responsible for the savory umami flavor. After the fermentation period, the mixture is processed and filtered to produce a smooth liquid. The final product is then bottled and prepared for distribution, retaining its rich flavor and beneficial properties.

Additionally, it can serve as a marinade, tenderizing meat while adding depth to flavors, or acting as a natural preservative due to its fermentation process. The essence can also be used as a base for salad dressings or dipping sauces, making it versatile in culinary applications.
Product Application Scenarios
