This invention belongs to the fields of
fermentation engineering and
traditional Chinese medicine processing technology, specifically relating to a mixed
microbial agent and its application in the
fermentation preparation of warm fermented soybeans. The mixed
microbial agent of this invention includes *Bacillus belye*, *
Rhizopus oryzae*, *
Pyrrosia lingua*, and *
Ustilago maydis*, with the China Industrial Microbial Culture Collection Center numbers CICC 10211, CICC 3010, CICC 3151, and CICC 33001, respectively. Based on this mixed
microbial agent, this invention clarifies the standardized
fermentation parameters for warm fermented soybeans, establishes a preparation process for the synergistic fermentation of four pure strains of warm fermented soybeans, achieves
controllability of the fermentation process and uniformity of product quality, effectively solves many drawbacks of traditional natural fermentation, such as unstable processes, large quality differences, and high risk of
contamination by other microorganisms. The warm fermented
soybean product has a high content of effective components and outstanding effects in relieving exterior syndromes, alleviating
irritability, and dispersing stagnant heat.
