Three tsukudani seasoning liquid models of soy sauce and amino acid seasoning liquid mixed with rare sugar syrup (RSS, main rare sugars: D-allulose, D-sorbose, D-tagatose, D-allose), glucose-fructose liquid sugar (GF), and white sugar (WS) were heated in a headspace sampler to create a delicious aroma. The aroma components generated were then analyzed using HS-GC/MS. As a result of the Maillard reaction, brown color intensity measured at absorbance 420 nm in the RSS liquid was significantly higher than in the GF and WS liquids. Principal component analysis of the quantitative data of the aroma compounds revealed 1.1–4.5 times more furans such as furfural, furfuryl alcohol, 2,5-diethyl tetrahydrofuran, and 3-phenylfuran were released from RSS than from GF and WS, which contributed to the characteristic aroma components of the tsukudani seasoning liquid. These results suggest that the four main rare sugars in the RSS are involved in the aroma formation.

For rare sugars to be used in fermented foods, their effect on microorganisms used in soy sauce brewing must first be determined. Here, when soy sauce-brewing microorganisms were cultured with a mixture of four rare sugars (D-allulose, D-allose, D-tagatose, and D-sorbose) with D-glucose, growth was not inhibited when the percentage of each rare sugar did not exceed 60 % of the carbon source. D-Tagatose was not inhibitory, even at 100 % of the carbon source, and it had the same effect as D-glucose on lactic acid fermentation by Tetragenococcus halophilus. To confirm soy sauce can be brewed with rare sugars, we conducted a small-scale brewing study with a rare sugar syrup (RSS). After aerobic fermentation by the yeast, the relative composition of each rare sugar remaining in the brew was 95 % allulose, 34 % allose, 68 % tagatose, and 84 % sorbose of the respective original concentration. Analyses of the final product found that acidic bitterness and acidic bitter aftertaste of the soy sauce were suppressed compared to the control, and this was attributed to a decrease in the amount of basic amino acids, which might be related to bitterness, during brewing.
