Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing soy sauce comprises a sampling mechanism for sampling a portion of a prescribed amount of raw soy sauce stored in at least one storage tank, and an automatic multiple analyzer for receiving the portion of the prescribed amount of raw soy sauce from the sampling mechanism and simultaneously analyzing the concentrations of at least two ingredients of the sampled portion of the raw soy sauce. The apparatus also includes at least one control tank operatively communicating with the storage tank for supplying at least one controlling element to the raw soy sauce in the storage tank, and a contral mechanism for selectively opening and closing control valves coupled between the control tank and the storage tank according to analytic results from the automatic multiple analyzer thereby to add the controlling element to the raw soy sauce in the storage tank to adjust the concentrations of the at least two ingredients of the prescribed amount of raw soy sauce to target values.
