Abstract

The present application relates to a fermented soybean composition and a method for preparing a fermented soybean composition.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A composition for fermented soybean products comprising a fermentation product in which a carbohydrate raw material, a complex herb extract C, and a garlic concentrate are fermented with at least one microorganism selected from the group consisting of C. utilis, S. fragilis, S. lactis , and S. pombe , wherein the fermentation product comprises alcohol in an amount of 0.01 v/v % to 4.0 v/v %;
wherein the carbohydrate raw material comprises:
wheat flour, as a first carbohydrate raw material; and
at least one selected from the group consisting of wheat rice, whole wheat, quinoa, and defatted soy flour, as a second carbohydrate raw material;
wherein the second carbohydrate raw material is comprised 10 to 50 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first carbohydrate raw material;
wherein the complex herb extract C comprises licorice extract, a tea extract, ginger concentrate powder, and powdered crystalline glucose.

2. The composition for fermented soybean products of claim 1 , wherein the fermentation is performed at a temperature of 20° C. to 60° C.

3. A method for preparing a composition for fermented soybean products, comprising:
mixing a koji, which is prepared with a first carbohydrate raw material comprising wheat flour, with a steamed product, which is steamed by adding water to a second carbohydrate raw material comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of wheat rice, whole wheat, quinoa , and defatted soy flour;
adding (i) a complex herb extract C comprising licorice extract, a tea extract, ginger concentrate powder, and powdered crystalline glucose, and (ii) a garlic concentrate into the mixture;
fermenting the mixture with at least one microorganism selected from the group consisting of C. utilis, S. fragilis, S. lactis , and S. pombe , and
mixing the fermentation product, which has undergone the fermentation process, with at least one selected from the group consisting of hot pepper powder, starch sugar, soy sauce, salt, processed spices, flavor enhancers, natural antibacterial agents, and processed cereals, and aging the mixture;
wherein the second carbohydrate raw material is comprised 10 to 50 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first carbohydrate raw material.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein, in the fermenting, the mixture is fermented at 20° C. to 60° C. for 50 days.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein, in the fermenting, the mixture is fermented at 30° C. to 50° C. for 1 to 5 days.
