Since black yeast produces beta-glucan outside its cells, it can be said to produce beta-glucan suitable for food processing. Let’s explore the mystery of black yeast—which never became a mushroom—and the β-glucan it produces. ◎June 3, 3:00 PM – 3:45 PM “The Wonders of Daily Life: Cultivating ‘Goishi-cha,’ a Fermented Tea Brewed by Microorganisms” Once known as the “phantom fermented tea,” Goishi-cha was on the verge of extinction. Since ancient times, the Japanese—not only in Shikoku—have fermented plants and utilized their colors and aromas in daily life. This is truly a collaboration between plants and microorganisms that perfectly matches Japan’s climate and way of life. Let’s reflect not only on food and health, but also on the mysterious rhythms of daily life. |
