“…The white spots were initially suspected to be a crystal of calcium oxalate and later speculated to be insoluble protein hydrolysis products (Dox, 1911). In recent years, the main composition of white spots in western fermented food, such as cheese (Bottazzi, 1994; Tansman, Kindstedt, & Hughes, 2015), sausage (Kröckel, Schmidt, & Andrée, 2016), and ham (Arnau et al., 1996), was found to be tyrosine. Researchers in Asian countries also found that the white spots in Asian fermented food, such as Thai Chieo (Ferng & Chiou, 1993), tempeh (Guoji, Weiqiang, & Haihong, 1997), sufu (Hong‐kang, Jun‐yong, & Jian, 2015), and doubanjiang (broad bean paste) (Niu et al., 2019), were also mainly composed of tyrosine.…”
