Aspergillus oryzae
Aspergillus oryzae is a mould supplied as spores or culture to ferment grains and legumes.
About Aspergillus oryzae
Aspergillus oryzae is a mold used as a fermentation starter in food production. It is supplied as spores or a prepared culture, rather than as an ordinary edible vegetable or seasoning. The culture itself is not usually used for its appearance or flavour; its role is to grow on a substrate during controlled fermentation.
It is used to ferment ingredients such as grains and legumes, and is sold in forms intended for particular fermentation processes. Spores, starter preparations, and foods fermented with the mold are different products. A prepared culture may include carriers, so the name alone does not describe the composition of a retail starter.

Representative benchmark from a comparable official food-composition category; it is not a laboratory measurement of this exact ingredient. The displayed reference form must be considered, and species, cultivar, recipe, brand, processing and preparation can change values.
A starter culture and the substrate fermented with it are different materials; nutrition measurements for fermented foods depend on the substrate and process. Commercial starter preparations may also contain carriers or other ingredients.
