Development of a novel method for the quantification of lovastatin is an interesting problem in the analytical field. In the literature, many reports use spectrophotometric method for the quantification of lovastatin. However, the analysis of fermentation broth containing lovastatin appears to be inaccurate using spectrophotometric method. Hence, the estimation of lovastatin produced by Monascu...

Bu araştırmada katı kültür fermantasyon tekniği ile Monascus purpureus CMU 001 küfünden mikrobiyal pigment üretimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Substrat olarak bira mayşe atığı ve gofret yaprağı tozu kullanılmış en yüksek kırmızı renk pigmenti sentezinin gerçekleştiği koşulları belirlenmiştir. En olan 59.55 AU500/g değeri, ilave besin elementi kullanılmadan 1:4 (g/g) oranında karıştırılmış atık substr...

An ascomycetes fungus was isolated from brine storage of green olives of the Arauco cultivar imported from Argentina and identified as Monascus ruber. The combined effects of different concentrations of sodium chloride (3.5-5.5%), sodium benzoate (0-0.1%), potassium sorbate (0-0.05%) and temperature (30-40°C) were investigated on the growth of M. ruber in the brine of stored table olives using ...

Monascus purpureus C322 was cultivated on well-established production media to yield prevailingly red or orange pigment-rich ethanolic extracts. Once these extracts had been diluted by an overall factor of 50, they were used as such to dye raw wool standard specimens differently premordanted using alum or stannic chloride. Independently of the mordant used, the specimens dyed with the red pigme...

Consumers are increasingly interested in purchasing meat products with low food additives content or even without the, since these kind of foodstuffs perceived as more natural and healthier. Nitrites the most commonly used industry to prevent growth pathogenic bacteria, keep red color (secondary effect on myoglobin = iron oxygen-binding), improve flavor. In this scenario, processors challenged ...
