ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of Monascus-pigment comprises cultivating, in a nutrient medium containing maltitol, a microorganism of genus Monascus capable of producing said pigment, and harvesting the resultant pigment from the culture.
The process advantageously leads to an extremely higher Monascus-pigment production in comparison with that obtained by conventional process, and, therefore, provides a sufficient amount of the pigment to food industry, where demand for naturally-occurring coloring agent with a high degree of safety is increasing.
