Soy sauce is made by fermenting a salty combination of soybeans and wheat for 8 to 12 months with a variety of microorganisms, including yeast. After the particles are removed, the resultant sauce is high in lactate and ethanol. What is the process for making these two compounds? To avoid a pronounced vinegary flavor in the soy sauce, air must be kept out of the fermenting tank (vinegar is dilute acetic acid). Why?
