Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing red mold dioscorea comprising the steps of: (1) washing a fresh dioscorea clean and cutting the fresh dioscorea into pieces with a specific dimension, wherein the specific dimension has a range from 2 mm to 20 mm; (2) drying the pieces of the fresh dioscorea for making the dried dioscorea contain a specific water content and a specific sulfur content by a sulfuring method, wherein the specific water content is below 15%, and the specific sulfur content being below 160 ppm; (3) adding a distilled water to the dried dioscorea for making the dried dioscorea and the water be a specific ratio in volume, wherein the specific ratio is 1:0.75 and this specific ratio make the dioscorea suitable to be executed a sterilization process; (4) soaking the dried dioscorea in the distilled water for 60 minutes; (5) proceeding the sterilization process of the dioscorea at 121° C. for 20 minutes; (6) spreading the steamed dioscorea in a wood dish for cooling the steamed dioscorea; (7) inoculating the dioscorea with 5% (8) cultivating the inoculated dioscorea at a specific temperature of 30° C. and a specific cultural humidity of 60% for 10 days, wherein the S (9) proceeding an anaerobic treatment to the product of the step (8) for 48 hours, wherein the anaerobic treatment is carried out by culturing the inoculated dioscorea under 100% CO (10) drying the product of the step (9) to a specific water content of 15%.
