Abstract:
Eremothecium ashbyii cultivated on "half cooked" cereal granules of rice, kaoliang, corn, millet, wheat bran, rice bran and bean refuse* is able to produce a considerable amount of riboflavin. It was found that the highest riboflavin production was obtained after 12-14 days' incubation at 28℃. The relative amount of riboflavin in these different granules was discovered in a decreasing order as follows: wheat bran, bean refuse, rice bran, millet, corn, kaoliang and rice. There is no difference in the amount of riboflavin synthesized by using different granular size of the same cereal.All these fermented products may be usect for enrichment of the riboflavin in processed-food and certain pharmaceutical preparations. Fermented wheat bran and bean refuse are considered to be most favourable for this purpose owing to this lower cost, simple operation and higher riboflavin content.*Bean refuse called Tou-Cha in Chinese is a by-product of bean curd.
