Soy-dawadawa (boiled and roasted types, Ghana)soy-dawadawa
Soy-dawadawa is the soybean form of the West African locust-bean condiment dawadawa. The beans are boiled or roasted, dehulled, boiled again and left in banana-leaf-lined baskets for three days, where Bacillus bacteria make them sticky, pungent and alkaline. It is used to flavour soups.

At a glance
Soy-dawadawa is the soybean form of the West African locust-bean condiment dawadawa. The beans are boiled or roasted, dehulled, boiled again and left in banana-leaf-lined baskets for three days, where Bacillus bacteria make them sticky, pungent and alkaline. It is used to flavour soups. Made in 5 steps over 3.1 days. The longest step, ferment in banana-leaf-lined baskets, takes 3 days (Opai-Tetteh S. 1999). Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus do most of the fermenting.
Soy-dawadawa uses soybeans in place of locust-bean seeds, so the first boil takes 30 minutes, not many hours. Ghanaian producers also make a roasted type that is dry-roasted before dehulling.
Roasted soy-dawadawaBeans dry-roasted 30 min, not boiled, before dehulling; more aroma compounds.

Safety
The fresh product has a high moisture content and its fermenting bacteria are still present, so it deteriorates quickly. In a storage study the peroxide value passed the 20–40 meq/kg range at which rancidity is suggested to start by day 4, while free fatty acids stayed below the rancidity threshold; the author concluded that after 4–6 days it begins to deteriorate biochemically and that eating it later may carry health risks, and that adding 1 % salt could extend its shelf life [popoola2007]. Bacillus cereus made up 16 % of the Bacillus isolates [opaitetteh1999].
