Abstract
A monascal product or angkak is a kind of fermented product obtained from the fermentation of polished rice (Oryza sativa) or other kind of high carbohydrate raw materials with Monascus sp. It has been utilised as a natural food colorant and a folk medicine in many countries for a long time. Monascal rice is well known for lowering blood cholesterol levels and antioxidant activities because of its significantly bioactive components e.g. monacolins phenolic compounds -aminobutyric acid and dimerumic acid. This review mainly focuses on the biosynthesis pathway of pigments and monacolin K and the factors affecting Monascus fermentation on Monascus pigments and monacolin K. The improvement of solid-state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SF) of Monascus sp. using two-step fermentation for pigments and monacolin K production and antioxidant activities of Monascus-pigments is also discussed.
