Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of white koji cultivation technology for brewing, and in particular to a white koji cultivation device for brewing. Background Technology

[0002] White koji is a type of koji made primarily from wheat bran. After steaming, it is inoculated with a pure strain of Aspergillus white mold and cultured under artificially controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The strain used to produce white koji is Aspergillus hanoiensis, a variant of Aspergillus niger. This fungus secretes various enzymes such as α-amylase, glucosylamylase, acidic protease, and hydroxypeptidase. White koji is widely used to brew high-quality wheat bran koji liquor.

[0003] Traditional white koji seed culture often uses trays, baskets, and other tools as culture devices, and then places them in a room for culture. White koji seed culture has very high requirements for the culture environment, requiring suitable temperature, humidity, ventilation, and a sterile environment.
