“…In the N-material test, the turbidity, which was observed up to a cooking temperature of 9O"C, completely disappeared at a temperature of 100°C. N-material, which causes turbidity when the soy sauce is diluted and heated, is produced by the limited proteolysis of the native 11s globulin of soybean proteins during soy sauce brewing (Tamura and Aiba, 1982). Therefore, the turbidity caused by N-material indicates the presence of undenatured soybean proteins in the N-material test (Nakaya, 1955).…”
