| Summary: | Mechanical preparation of the rice. Addition of spores of Eurotium oryzeæ (Ahlb.). Growth of mycelium in warm chamber. Rise of temperature during growth sufficient to preserve the temperature of the chamber constant, and, in winter, much above the temperature of the outer air. Temperature of kôji itself from 10º to 28ºF. above that of the chamber. Activity of growth shown by the rapid replacement of oxygen in a confined portion of air by carbonic acid. Loss of weight of the rice during the growth of the fungus. |
