The outline of the soy sauce production process includes raw material processing, noodle making, moromi production by mashing, press filtration, burning, and post-treatment. The raw soy sauce that has been squeezed and filtered is usually heated at about 80 ° C. This burning treatment is performed in order to sterilize microorganisms, inactivate enzymes, and give a strong incense to raw soy sauce having a low fragrance to give a strong aroma similar to soy sauce. After the burning treatment, the mixture is allowed to stand still for 2 to 10 days and naturally cooled, so that coagulated proteins, phosphates, and the like precipitate, resulting in burning. After a predetermined number of days, the precipitate is separated from the supernatant, and the supernatant is subjected to diatomaceous earth filtration in order to improve the transparency and to remove fine solids. On the other hand, soy sauce is usually contained in the precipitate in an amount of 70 to 90%, and the soy sauce is recovered by returning to the squeezing filtration step. However, after burning, the taste and aroma will be different from raw soy sauce,
There is a problem with such recovery. In some cases, diatomaceous earth filtration is also performed to collect soy sauce from the sediment, and disposal of diatomaceous earth containing a large amount of putrefactive components has become a problem in view of environmental problems in recent years.
