Emao is the Bodo rice-beer starter of Assam. Non-sticky rice powder is mixed with two or more herbs, shaped into cakes, dusted with powdered old emao and kept covered for 3–4 days until the surface turns white, then sun-dried for 2–3 days. Its microbes are mostly Rhizopus mould.

Emao is the Bodo rice-beer starter of Assam. Non-sticky rice powder is mixed with two or more herbs, shaped into cakes, dusted with powdered old emao and kept covered for 3–4 days until the surface turns white, then sun-dried for 2–3 days. Its microbes are mostly Rhizopus mould. Made in 4 steps over 5 days – 7 days. The longest step, dust the cakes with old emao and keep them covered, takes 3–4 days (Narzary D 2021). Rhizopus delemar and Wickerhamomyces anomalus (9 %), the main yeast do most of the fermenting.
Unlike thiat of Meghalaya, which uses glutinous rice, emao is made from non-sticky rice. Its microbes are mostly moulds (9 moulds to 2 yeasts to 1 bacterium), led by Rhizopus delemar.
Boro et al. note that the makers take great care over hygiene in making emao and jou, because the quality deteriorates if the work is careless. The traditional jou made with emao measured pH 3.78 and 9.09 % v/v ethanol (Boro and Narzary 2022, Table 5).
Narzary et al. describe brewing with emao as an age-old tradition of the Bodo, one of the earliest settlers of north-east India. They write that the Bodo, Dimasa and Garo might have emerged from a common ancestor about 1500 years ago and have similarities in language, culture and brewing traditions.
