However, aspergillus oryzae has a drawback that solid culture produces a large amount of glucoamylase that contributes to saccharification of the raw material, but liquid culture has a disadvantage that the productivity of glucoamylase is low. Sake brewing has not yet been put to practical use.

[0004] As the latest technology relating to liquid koji for sake, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-225746 is disclosed. According to this publication, glucoamylase activity is increased to the same level as solid koji by pre-culturing under conditions that stress the growth of hyphae, and then performing liquid culture using the phase split culture method under the same conditions. Report that it was possible.
However, the production method of liquid koji by the above-mentioned phase split culture method is not practical for practical use from the viewpoint of workability and economical efficiency such as replacing the medium on the way or installing a porous membrane on the surface of the medium. There are many insufficient points. On the other hand, rice or rice bran has been used as a raw material for liquid culture. Recently, a new technique for liquefying roasted rice to brew sake has been developed as a raw material for kake (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-39364). By using this method, the fluidity of the mash is improved, and a sake mash excellent in process control has been produced. Therefore, there has been a need to develop a technique for culturing liquid koji in a liquid.

Next, a method for producing liquid koji will be described. The liquid koji of the present invention is characterized by using roasted cereals as a raw material. The reason for this is that the glucoamylase activity of liquid koji made from roasted cereals is much higher than liquid koji produced from other raw materials (for example, cereals that are not roasted). First, the ratio of roasted cereals to fetched water during preparation is 6 to 15%.
Is appropriate. If it is less than 6%, the growth of Aspergillus is poor and 1
If it is more than 5%, the viscosity of the mash increases, and ventilation and stirring become insufficient. Next, potassium nitrate and / or potassium acid phosphate are preferably added as nutrients to the pumping water in an amount of 0.
Add 1% or more. The proportion is potassium nitrate 0.2
%, And 0.3% of acidic potassium phosphate are most preferred. After heat-sterilizing the medium, the seed koji mold precultured in the flask is inoculated. The method of pre-culturing the seed koji is to prepare a medium in a flask with the same composition as described above, inoculate the medium with the cells and / or spores of the preserved bacteria, and shake culture at 30 to 40 ° C. for 16 hours or more. Can be manufactured. The pre-cultured culture solution is generally used in an amount of 2 to 10% with respect to the medium of the main culture.
20-45 ° C with aeration and stirring
The culture is carried out at a temperature of at least 48 hours. The ventilation method is preferably a method of blowing sterile air from the bottom. As for the temperature condition, if the temperature is lower than 20 ° C., the growth of the koji mold is slow, and the temperature is 45 ° C.
If it is higher, the koji mold can hardly grow. Preferably, 38 to 40 ° C is good. The liquid koji of the present invention is produced by liquid culture of the koji mold as described above.

Next, there is a method for producing alcoholic beverages using liquid koji. In the case of sake, first, at least part of the sake is replaced by the liquid koji instead of the solid koji in the preparation and blending, and the sake is produced by a usual three-stage charging method. . Next, in the case of shochu, a method is preferred in which at least a part of the shochu is replaced with the liquid koji instead of the solid koji in the preparation and the shochu mash is produced by a three-stage preparation method and distilled.
However, it is not limited to this method.
