Shuāng huáng ( 雙 璜): A light soy sauce that is double-fermented by using the light soy sauce from another batch to take the place of brine for a second brewing. This adds further complexity to the flavor of the light soy sauce. Due to its complex flavor this soy sauce is used primarily for dipping. Pressing: The fully fermented grain slurry is placed into cloth-lined containers and pressed to separate the solids from the liquid soy sauce. The isolated solids are used as fertilizer or fed to animals while the liquid soy sauce is processed further.The result is a liquid that boasts a high salt content (because of the brine it’s soaked in and the fact that it’s left to ferment only for short periods), lighter color and less pronounced flavors.

Sometimes the roasted wheat is omitted especially when dark soy sauce is intended to be made. Hansik ganjang ( 한식간장, 'Korean-style soy sauce') is made entirely of fermented soybean ( meju) and brine. It is a byproduct of doenjang (fermented soybean paste) production, and has a unique fermented soybean flavour.

[59] Common names for hansik ganjang include jaeraesik ganjang ( 재래식 간장, "traditional soy sauce"), Joseon-ganjang ( 조선간장, " Joseon soy sauce"), and guk-ganjang ( 국간장, "soup soy sauce"). The homebrewed variety is also called jip-ganjang ( 집간장, "home soy sauce").

The primary fermentation of lactic-acid-fermenting halophiles lowers the pH of the moromi, and this directly results in the acidic pH range (4.4–5.4) of soy sauce products. The secondary fermentation conducted by heterofermentative microbes provides soy sauce with a wide range of flavor and odorant compounds by breaking down macronutrients. Soy proteins and grain proteins are hydrolyzed into short peptide chains and free amino acids, which adds umami to the product. Based on the result of free amino acid analysis, the most abundant amino acids in Chinese soy sauce product are glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine and leucine.
