Soya Sauce

Abstract

Soya bean is a leguminous crop and is rich in proteins. Many value-added products are made from it like milk, paneer, cheese and sauce. Soya products are increasingly becoming popular especially amongst health-conscious people. Soya sauce is used as a taste enhancer as it has a typical bitter-sour and sweet taste as well as flavour. The preferred locations are Gujarat, MP, Maharashtra etc. But this note considers Maharashtra as the prospective location since market for the soy a sauce is consistently increasing in the state. Amravati district of Maharashtra cultivates substantial quantities of soya beans with around 30,000 hectare area under this crop. Therefore, location of the proposed plant has to be selected carefully.
