Koji mold is used to produce soy sauce. It contains the mold strain Aspergillus oryzae. This mold helps gives flavor and aroma to soy sauce.
Micro-organisms related to soy sauce production are mainly koji mold (Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus sojae), lactic acid bacteria (Pediococcus halophilus) and osmophilic yeasts (Saccharomyces rouxii, Candida (Torulopsis) versatilis, Candida (Torulopsis) etchellsii).

Heating mold can release mold spores into the air, potentially spreading them to other areas. It is best to use proper safety measures, such as wearing a mask and gloves, when dealing with mold to prevent its spread.
The mold requires moisture to grow so the more moisture the more mold.
Koji fermentation is a traditional Japanese process that involves the cultivation of the mold Aspergillus oryzae on grains, typically rice, barley, or soybeans. This mold breaks down starches into sugars, which can then be fermented by yeast or bacteria to produce various products like sake, miso, and soy sauce. The fermentation not only enhances flavor and aroma but also improves the nutritional profile of the food. Koji is a crucial element in many East Asian cuisines, contributing to a wide range of fermented foods.
