Optimization of Color Fractionation of Monascus Pigment
Journal of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Biotechnology, 2023 Monascus fungi are unique among the various microorganisms that produce edible pigments, which consist of red, orange and yellow. These pigments are typically present in a mixture. Hence, pigment separation is needed. This study aims to optimize solvent systems that can effectively fractionate the pigments. The optimization was carried out using column

The Structure and Photodecomposition of Monascus Pigments
Eiyo To Shokuryo, 1975 紅麹菌が産出する色素のうち, 黄色のankaflavinの構造が種々の機器を使用することによって決定できた。また, 赤色の色素に関しては推定構造ではあるがmonascamine類似物質であろうと結論できた。 なお, この類似物質が光に対してきわめて不安定であることから, 抗酸化力のあるビタミンC, ビタミンE, メラノイジンを添加することによって, その光分解がどの程度抑制されるかを検討した。 その結果, ビタミンC添加系のほうが無添加系の約3倍の光分解抑制効果があった。以上の結果より, 光分解抑制にはビタミンCを添加することが望ましいと思われる。
