Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Improving the traditional fermentation technology by some unidentified strains into the modern pure inoculation fermentation technology. For selecting better fermentation strains, the quality of various Shenqu fermentated with different pure inoculation be compared. METHOD: Isolating the strains from self-fermented Shenqu, then with other 2 certain strains, to conduct the pure inoculation fermentation. Then compare the quality of them according to the difference in the chemical composition, activity of enzyme and the impact to the digestive function in mice of the finished Shenqu. RESULTS: Four strains were isolated. One of them, a mucor genus of mold is better than others. CONCLUSION: Modern pure inoculation fermentation can ensure the quality and the medication safety of Shenqu. New fermentation technology is feasible.
