Industrial Applications of MONASCUS RED
| Industry | Application | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Food Industry | Natural food colorant for coloring meat products, seasonings, baked goods, beverages, etc. | Rice or other substrates are fermented with Monascus spp., and the resulting pigment mixture (including monascorubrin and monascin) is extracted and purified prior to incorporation into food products. |
| Pharmaceutical & Health Supplements | Cholesterol-lowering functional ingredient (containing active compounds such as monacolin K) | Functional ingredients are isolated and purified from fermentation broth and formulated into health supplements such as capsules and tablets. |
| Cosmetics | Natural colorant for color cosmetics including lipsticks and blushes | Purified Monascus pigment is dispersed into cosmetic bases per formulation requirements following safety assessment. |
| Animal Feed Industry | Feed colorant for enhancing yolk pigmentation in poultry eggs and body coloration in aquaculture species | Monascus pigment is incorporated into compound feed and deposited in tissues or egg yolks via animal ingestion. |
Manufacturing Quality Control of MONASCUS RED
| Detection Item | Common Analytical Method | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Color Value (OD405) | UV-Vis Spectrophotometry | Measures absorbance at 405 nm in standardized aqueous solution to quantify color intensity proportional to monascin and ankaflavin content. |
| Moisture Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Quantifies water via coulometric or volumetric titration with iodine-based reagent reacting stoichiometrically with water. |
| Ash Content | Gravimetric Analysis (Incineration) | Determines inorganic residue after high-temperature combustion and weighing of the residual ash. |
| Heavy Metals (Pb, Cd, As, Hg) | ICP-MS | Uses inductively coupled plasma to atomize and ionize samples, followed by mass spectrometric detection for trace metal quantification. |
| Arsenic | Hydride Generation AAS | Converts arsenic to volatile arsine gas, which is atomized and measured by atomic absorption at 193.7 nm. |
| Lead | Graphite Furnace AAS | Atomizes sample in graphite tube and measures lead absorption at 283.3 nm for high-sensitivity quantification. |
| Microbial Limits (Total Aerobic Count) | Plate Count Agar Culture | Enumerates viable aerobic bacteria using standard pour-plate or spread-plate method under controlled incubation conditions. |
| Yeast and Mold Count | Sabouraud Dextrose Agar Culture | Isolates and counts yeasts and molds via selective agar medium incubated at 20-25 C for 5 days. |
| E. coli Presence | Most Probable Number (MPN) Method | Detects presence/absence of E. coli using lactose broth fermentation and confirmation tests based on gas production and IMViC reactions. |
| Salmonella Presence | ISO 6579 Enrichment and Isolation | Employs pre-enrichment, selective enrichment, and plating on XLD/BSA agars followed by biochemical and serological confirmation. |
| Residual Solvents (Ethanol, Acetone) | Gas Chromatography (GC-FID) | Separates and quantifies volatile solvents using capillary column and flame ionization detection. |
| Purity (Monacolin K Content) | HPLC-UV | Separates components on reversed-phase column and quantifies monacolin K by UV detection at 237 nm, distinguishing it from other metabolites. |
