There are two kinds of oncom: red oncom and black oncom.
Shurtleff and Aoyagi address toxicity in their book section on oncom.
Red oncom has been found to reduce the cholesterol levels of rats.[2].
While it is known that soybeans are the best substrate for growing R. oligosporus to produce tempeh, oncom has not been as thoroughly studied; the best fermentation substrates for producing oncom are not yet known.
Oncom is closely related to tempeh; both are foods fermented using mold.[1].
Black oncom is made by using Rhizopus oligosporus while red oncom is made by using Neurospora intermedia var. oncomensis.[3] It is the only human food produced from Neurospora.
Usually oncom is made from the by-products from the production of other foods: soy bean tailings(okara) left from making tofu, peanut press cake left after the oil has been pressed out, cassava tailings when extracting the starch(pati singkong), coconut presscake remaining after oil has been pressed out or when coconut milk has been produced. Since oncom production uses by-products to make food, it increases the economic efficiency of food production.
