Koji culture: named mold, substrate and enzyme system
Koji is steamed grain — rice, barley, soybean or wheat — grown out with a food-grade Aspergillus mold until the kernels carry working enzymes. It is bought or cultivated, and it converts starch and protein for the foods that follow.
Diastatic malt powder
Diastatic malt powder is milled sprouted grain with active starch-converting enzymes. Bakers use it in small, formula-specific amounts to influence fermentation and crust browning.
