“…In recent years, the main composition of white spots in western fermented food, such as cheese (Bottazzi, 1994; Tansman, Kindstedt, & Hughes, 2015), sausage (Kröckel, Schmidt, & Andrée, 2016), and ham (Arnau et al., 1996), was found to be tyrosine. Researchers in Asian countries also found that the white spots in Asian fermented food, such as Thai Chieo (Ferng & Chiou, 1993), tempeh (Guoji, Weiqiang, & Haihong, 1997), sufu (Hong‐kang, Jun‐yong, & Jian, 2015), and doubanjiang (broad bean paste) (Niu et al., 2019), were also mainly composed of tyrosine. Therefore, tyrosine was considered as the main component of white spots.…”
