Method of producing filamentous fungus culture product
View Patent ↗It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of adjusting productivity of enzymes, in particular, amylolytic enzymes, plant fiber degradation enzymes and proteolytic enzymes in a filamentous fungus culture product, by controlling releasing rate of nutrients from the culture raw material into the culture system when a filamentous fungus culture product is produced by culturing filamentous fungi in liquid medium containing as the culture raw material at least one selected from the group consisting of cereals, beans, tubers, amaranthus and quinoa. The present invention provides a method of producing filamentous fungus culture product by using liquid medium containing as culture raw material at least one selected from the group consisting of cereals, beans, tubers, amaranthus and quinoa comprising, culturing filamentous fungi while releasing rate of nutrients from the culture raw material into the culture system is controlled to adjust productivity of enzymes in the filamentous fungus culture product.
1. A method of producing filamentous fungi culture product comprising,
culturing filamentous fungi in a liquid medium containing at least one culture raw material to increase production of enzymes in the filamentous fungus culture product, wherein
the filamentous fungi is at least one selected from the group consisting of koji molds, fungi of genus Aspergillus , fungi of genus Trichoderma , and white rot fungi,
the culture raw material comprises barley of which surface is entirely or partly covered with at least husks,
the barley has a polishing ratio of more than 93%, and
releasing rate of nutrients from the barley into the culture system is reduced by the husks to increase the production of enzymes.
2. The method of producing filamentous fungi culture product according to claim 1 , wherein the barley is barley which is not gelatinized.
3. The method of producing filamentous fungi culture product according to claim 1 ,
which comprises heat treating the liquid medium, and
further reducing the releasing rate of nutrients from the barley into the liquid medium by increasing inorganic salt concentration in the liquid medium.
4. The method of producing filamentous fungi culture product according to claim 1 , wherein the nutrients comprise saccharide derived from starch in the culture raw material and/or amino acid derived from protein in the culture raw material.
5. A method of producing filamentous fungi culture product according to claim 1 , wherein the enzymes comprise at least one selected from the group consisting of amylolytic enzymes, plant fiber degradation enzymes and proteolytic enzymes.
