Calories in hydrolyzed-protein soy sauce

This soy sauce made from hydrolyzed vegetable protein provides 60 kcal per 100 grams in the reference data. Fermented shoyu, tamari and reduced-sodium sauces do not automatically share its nutrition panel. Hydrolyzed protein powder is also different from the finished sauce.

Spoon weights are not millilitres

The USDA reference tablespoon weighs 18 g and the teaspoon weighs 6 g, providing 11 and 4 kcal respectively. Do not convert a volume in millilitres directly to the same number of grams. For a different spoon or brand, use a weighed amount or the package's serving information.

Does low-calorie mean low-sodium?

No. The 100 g reference contains 6820 mg sodium. An 18 g tablespoon supplies 1227.6 mg, and a 6 g teaspoon supplies 409.2 mg. Replacing table salt with soy sauce does not automatically lower sodium. Count both sauce and added salt; if you have a prescribed sodium limit, check your brand's portion against that plan. The relationship between salt and sodium helps you count the sauce alongside sodium from other foods.

At the same 18 g weight, this soy-sauce reference supplies about 1,228 mg sodium, compared with about 492 mg in the generic oyster-sauce reference. Current bottles can differ; the branded 15 g example on the oyster-sauce page is a separate serving.

A 50 g amount of Dardanel crab surimi already contains 1 g salt, about 400 mg sodium. Adding 6 g of this sauce reference brings the total to about 809 mg sodium, before sushi rice or other ingredients.

What does hydrolyzed mean?

Hydrolysis breaks components such as proteins into smaller parts through a reaction with water. The sauce can season vegetables, rice or marinades in small amounts; it is not a main protein food. Hydrolysis does not establish that gluten has been removed or allergens eliminated. With coeliac disease or a food allergy, check a suitable product's label rather than relying on its name.

Reference and scope

Nutrient values use USDA SR28, NDB 16125. The explanation of hydrolysis and gluten follows the FDA gluten-free labelling guidance. A current package takes priority; figures for generic fermented sauce or pure protein powder have not been mixed into this panel.
