Ragi tapai is an inoculum for tapai fermentation in Indonesia, ragi tapai contains several microbes and hydrolase enzymes. In West Sumatra ragi tapai preparations varies by region because they cultivate themselves based on their own knowledge traditional knowledge) so the results obtained in each region will vary. This study aims to identify the most potent amylolytic mold in several samples of local ragi tapai in West Sumatra (Padang, Padang Panjang, Pesisir Selatan, Payakumbuh, Solok, Padang Pariaman, Batusangkar). For selection and characterization RFA, PDA, MEA, Czapek Agar, CMCA and GPACaCO3 were used as medium. The results showed there were six potential amylolytic species of mold in ragi tapai such as Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus candidus, Aspergillus clavatus and Geotricum sp. Geotricum sp. showed the highest amylolytic in-vitro potential.
