Abstract

After analysis of orange pigments produced by two different Monascus submerged in rice powder cultures,it was found that the orange pigments produced by Monascus fuliginosus were same to literature.But the orange pigments produced by Monascus ruber were different from literature,the pigments were mainly composed of two kinds of compounds whose molecular masses were 340.3 and 312.3 respectively.
