Claims20
A process for manufacturing a solid fermented soy milk product, comprising:
- fermenting a fermentation substrate comprising soy milk with heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria;
- wherein said fermentation substrate further comprises a concentration of malic acid and free amino acids that produces a solid fermented soy milk product from the fermentation substrate by the heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria,
- and wherein the malic acid and free amino acid concentrations satisfy the relationships specified by inequality (1), inequality (2) and inequality (3):
- 0<x≤1505 (1),
- 0<y<1500 (2),
- y≥−27x+20189 (3),
- wherein x represents the free amino acid concentration (ppm by mass) and y represents the malic acid concentration (ppm by mass).
