dc.description.abstractHawaijar, ethnic vegan fermented soybean food of Manipur, India is culturally and gastronomically important indigenously produced food. It is alkaline, sticky, mucilaginous and slightly pungent and bears similar properties with many fermented soybean foods of Southeast Asia like natto of Japan, douchi of China, thua nao of Thailand, choongkook jang of Korea. The functional microorganism is Bacillus and has numerous health benefits like fibrinolytic enzyme, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and ACE inhibitory activities. It is also very rich in nutrients but unscrupulous production method and sale lead to food safety issues. Huge potential pathogen population upto the level of 107-10 cfu/g Bacillus cereus and Proteus mirabilis were detected. Recent studies revealed presence of enterotoxic and urease gene in microorganisms originated from hawaijar. Improved and regulated food chain will result in hygienic and safe hawaijar. It has scope for functional food and nutraceutical global market and hold potential to provide employment to enhance the overall socioeconomic status of the region. Scientific production of fermented soybean over the traditional methods is summarized in this paper along with food safety and health benefits. Microbiological aspects on fermented soybean along with nutritive values are critically explained inside the paper.
