Designation of rice cake starters for fermented rice products with desired characteristics and fast fermentation.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to control characteristics of fermented rice products by using functional fungi and yeasts isolated from traditional rice cake starters in Thailand. Amylolytic fungi, amylolytic yeasts, alcoholic yeasts and aromatic yeasts were isolated from rice cake starters through different isolation protocols. Among the protocols tested, the enrichment in rice cake fermentation prior to isolation was the most suitable protocol for isolation of amylolytic fungi from all rice cake starters. While the enrichment in submerged fermentation prior to isolation could increase the numbers of yeast isolates. The selected amylolytic fungus and amylolytic yeast were identified as Rhizopus oryzae F63S and Saccharomycopsis fibuligera Y71R, respectively. The yeast with high production
