Popis: Due to the indigestibility, utilization of konjac taro, Amorphophallus konjac has been limited only to the Japanese traditional konjac food. Koji preparation with konjac taro was examined to utilize konjac taro as a source of utilizable carbohydrates. Aspergillus luchuensis AKU 3302 was selected as a favorable strain for koji preparation, while Aspergillus oryzae used extensively in sake brewing industry was not so effective. Asp. luchuensis grew well over steamed konjac taro by extending hyphae with least conidia formation. Koji preparation was completed after 3-day incubation at 30°C. D-Mannose and D-glucose were the major monosaccharides found in a hydrolyzate giving the total sugar yield of 50 g from 100 g of dried konjac taro. An apparent extent of konjac taro hydrolysis at 55°C for 24 h seemed to be completed. Since konjac taro is hydrolyzed into monosaccharides, utilization of konjac taro carbohydrates may become possible to various products of biotechnological interest. Fil: Adachi, Osao.
