Pigments of Monascus

Journal of Food Science, 1994
ABSTRACT A chemically defined medium with glutamic acid as nitrogen source was devised for the culture of two species of Monascus ( M. ruber and M. purpureus ), resulting in optimum production of

Regulated synthesis and metabolism of Monascus pigments in a unique environment

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2022
Microbial fermentation in extreme environments is the focus of research, which provides new insights for the production and application of Monascus pigments. In this paper, the regulation of Monascus pigments metabolism by optimizing the conditions, such as osmotic pressure, high sugar stress, light, extreme temperature, high-water content, low ...

Computerized Screening for Novel Producers of Monascus-like Food Pigments in Penicillium Species

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
Monascus pigments have been used as natural food colorants in Asia for centuries. They are not authorized for use in the European Union and the United States mainly due to the risk of coproduction of the mycotoxin citrinin by Monascus slop.

Mutant for Monascus‐Pigment Production

Journal of Food Science, 1981
ABSTRACT A mutant, Monascus purpureus G1, was isolated from a wildtype which had been transferred for several times after ultraviolet irradiation. This new strain is extremely dark red in color and also releases more pigment into the yeast extract cultural medium.

Effect of Nitrogen Sources on Production and Photostability of Monascus Pigments in Liquid Fermentation

IERI Procedia, 2013
The effect of different nitrogen sources on the yield, distribution and photostability of monascus pigments was detected in liquid fermentation. Compared to the control, glutamic and 6-furturylaminopurine could increase the production of pigments from ...

Structurally diverse Monascus pigments with hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective activities from highland barley Monascus

Fitoterapia, 2022
Highland barley Monascus has historically been used in solid state fermentation and traditional fermented foods in Tibet. It is possessed of the characteristics of medicine and food. Three new 8,13-unsaturated benzocyclodiketone-conjugated Monascus pigments (1-3), three new benzofuran Monascus pigments (4-6), three new butylated malonyl Monascus ...

Inactivation of MrSir2 in Monascus ruber Influenced the Developmental Process and the Production of Monascus Azaphilone Pigments

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2022
Monascus species are the producers of Monascus azaphilone pigments (MonAzPs) and lipid-lowering component Monacolin K, which have been widely used as food colorant and health products. In this study, silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) homolog (MrSir2) was characterized, and its impacts on the development and MonAzPs production of Monascus ruber were

Biological activities of oligoketide pigments of Monascus purpureus

Food Additives & Contaminants, 1999
Rubropunctatin (1), monascorubrin (2), monascin (3) and ankaflavin (4) were purified from the mycelium of Monascus purpureus by flash chromatography on silica gel or reversed phase. Their embryotoxicity towards chicken embryos decreased in the order 2 > 1 > 3 > 4.

Effects of blue light on pigment biosynthesis of Monascus

Journal of Microbiology, 2016
The influence of different illumination levels of blue light on the growth and intracellular pigment yields of Monascus strain M9 was investigated. Compared with darkness, constant exposure to blue light of 100 lux reduced the yields of six pigments, namely, rubropunctatamine (RUM), monascorubramine (MOM), rubropunctatin (RUN), monascorubrin (MON ...

Pigments and Citrinin Biosynthesis by Fungi Belonging to Genus Monascus

Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung - Section C Journal of Biosciences, 2005
Citrinin is a mycotoxin, which is produced by fungi belonging to the genus Monascus, known in biotechnology as producers of azaphilone pigments. The relation between biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites was investigated in different species of the genus Monascus in batch-culture at the following cultivation conditions: T = 28 °C, agitation 220 ...
