Inoculation of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii into a soy sauce mash free fro
m lactic acid bacteria at 10(6) cells mL(-1) resulted in the formation
of the flavour-active compound HEMF over a number of days at 30 degre
es C. Delays in inoculation up to 14 days after production of the mash
greatly increased the amount of HEMF formed and under some conditions
concentrations in the commercial range were achieved without addition
of any other microorganisms.
