It plays an important role in the brewing process, from supporting koji cultivation to helping develop the aroma and flavor of the finished soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the role of wheat also offers a closer look at how traditionally brewed soy sauce develops its character over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soybeans and Wheat Play Different Roles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soybeans are an important source of protein in soy sauce brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wheat, meanwhile, provides carbohydrates and nutrients that support the growth of koji during the early stages of fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, soybeans and wheat create the foundation for the microorganisms and enzymes involved in the brewing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one reason why the choice and handling of ingredients can have such an important influence on the final flavor of soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea-1200x1200.png 1200w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3fe41456-1f9c-4c61-9553-d40296dd52ea.png 1254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is the Wheat Roasted?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At DoYouBo, soybeans are first cooked with water until they reach the appropriate texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After cooking, a small amount of roasted wheat is added before the ingredients move on to the koji-making stage. According to DoYouBo&#8217;s brewing process, the amount of wheat used at this stage is approximately 10% of the amount of soybeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roasting also helps bring out the characteristic aroma of the wheat, which contributes to the flavor development of the soy sauce during fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wheat Helps Support Koji<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koji is one of the most important stages in traditional soy sauce brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The carbohydrates and nutrients provided by wheat help create an environment for koji to develop. During this stage, enzymes begin preparing the ingredients for the long fermentation process that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At DoYouBo, the prepared ingredients are transferred to a controlled koji-making environment before continuing to the brining and fermentation stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This combination of ingredients, microorganisms, time and careful process control helps build the foundation of the finished soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec-1200x1200.png 1200w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a29489dc-53b9-4ab3-b11c-d1b78d5c52ec.png 1254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Aroma and Flavor Through Fermentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wheat also contributes to the aroma and flavor profile of brewed soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once koji making is complete, the ingredients are combined with brine and allowed to ferment naturally over an extended period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At DoYouBo, soy sauce is naturally fermented for at least 120 days, giving the ingredients time to gradually develop deeper aroma, color and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During fermentation, naturally occurring compounds\u2014including small amounts of alcohol\u2014may also be produced as part of the brewing process. This is one reason simple methods such as shaking a bottle and judging the foam are not reliable ways to determine whether a soy sauce has been naturally brewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6-1200x1200.png 1200w, https:\/\/doyoubo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2ad800c2-db85-4847-a8a8-d8b3bb0fdce6.png 1254w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Total Nitrogen in Soy Sauce?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way soy sauce quality can be evaluated is through measurable indicators such as total nitrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because soybeans and other brewing ingredients contain protein, nitrogen levels can be used as one indicator when evaluating brewed soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than relying only on appearance, foam or color, scientific testing provides measurable information about the characteristics and quality of the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What About Gluten?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because wheat is used in the brewing process, consumers with wheat allergies or specific dietary requirements should always check the ingredient and allergen information for each individual product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some DoYouBo soy sauces have been tested with no gluten detected according to the applicable testing standard. However, products brewed with wheat still identify <strong>wheat as an allergen on their ingredient labels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, consumers should refer to the labeling and testing information of the specific product rather than assuming that all traditionally fermented soy sauces have the same gluten status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Than Just Soybeans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soy sauce may begin with soybeans, but every ingredient has a role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From whole soybeans and roasted wheat to koji, brine and months of fermentation, each stage contributes to the final aroma and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For DoYouBo, understanding these ingredients is part of understanding the craft behind Taiwanese soy sauce\u2014where traditional brewing knowledge and modern process control work together in every bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soy sauce is made from soybeans\u2014so why is wheat often part of the recipe?
