Soy Sauce Measuring FAQs

Why is soy sauce denser than water? ▾

A heavy concentration of dissolved sodium chloride (table salt) and fermented protein amino acids elevates its specific gravity to roughly 1.08.

What is the difference between regular soy sauce and dark soy sauce? ▾

Dark soy sauce is aged longer, thicker, and infused with molasses or caramel color, primarily providing rich color rather than sharp salinity.
