본 연구에서는 Monascus sp. MK2가 생산하는 홍국색소의 안정성에 대하여 조사한 결과에서 광 안정성에서는 암 조건>자외선>실내(형광)>태양광 조건 순서로 안정하였으며, 온도에 대한 안정성은 온도가 증가하고 저장시간에 길어짐에 따라 홍국색소의 감소율 또한 비례적으로 증가하였고, pH에 대한 안정성은 전체적인 pH 영역에서 비교적 안정하였으며, 유기산 첨가에 대한 홍국색소의 안정성은 높은 것으로 생각되며, 합성 항산화제와 천연물 추출물 첨가시에는 안정성이 증대되는 것으로 조사되었다.

Carotene, xanthophyll, carotenoid anthocyan, phycopyrine, chlorophyll, and monascus pigments are used as natural coloring agents since they are more stable to human body than synthetic coloring agents. Among them, monascus pigments are a natural red pigment produced by the Monascus purpureus. For the development of edible paint using natural pigment, Monascus purpureus strain was cultured at a temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ for 15 days on a PDYA plate and liquid medium to produce a red pigment. In addition, a large amount of the red pigment was extracted from Hongkuk Koji in parallel with water extraction and ultrasonic wave extraction. At this time, the yield of ultrasonic extract was 2~4 times higher. Thus, Monascus purpureus strains, etc. were prepared by freeze-drying powder. In conclusion, natural paints made with red pigments have enabled the development of been edible paints that can be used as eco-friendly materials with good viscosity, enhanced spread ability and coloration.

In this study, we tested possibility of replacing nitrite salts, which were always added during the meat product processing, with the metabolites produced by antimicrobial and red pigment producing Monascus strains. We have already shown that Monascus No. 116 strain has the highest antimicrobial activity among the strains isolated from Ang-Khak. Monascus isolate No. 229 was chosen due to its outstanding red pigment producing ability. The red pigment production by No. 229 was highest in the medium containing 8% sucrose, 2% yeast extract, 0.1% K2HPO4, 0.5% MgSO4. Optimum pH and temperature for the red pigment production were pH 6.2 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, was found in spot or Rf value 0.54 on TLC plate using ethyl acetate-acetone-water (4:4:1, v/v/v) as development solvent system. Isolate No. 116 and No. 229 were cultured in a optimal condition for the antimicrobial activity and red pigmentation. The culture concentrates were applied in situ to the production of instantly processed ham. Mixed application of 89 ppm Na-nitrite and 300 ppm of culture broth concentrate of Monascus isolate No. 116 and 500 ppm of red color produced by Monascus isolate No. 229 showed similar results with the single application of 94 ppm Na-nitrite. These results confirmed that the antimicrobial activity and red pigment of Monascus strains might be valuable to replace Na-nitrite salt in meat processing.

Monascus species have been used to produce fermented rice called Monascus-fermented rice (MFR). To improve a Monascus strain via activation of secondary metabolite (SM) gene clusters for use in the production of MFR, we overexpressed an ortholog of the laeA gene, which encodes a global positive regulator of secondary metabolism under the control of the strong heterologous Aspergillus nidulans alcA promoter in Monascus pilosus. The OE::laeA transformant produced more SMs, including those not detected under uninduced conditions. MFR produced using the M. pilosus OE::laeA strain contained 4 times more monacolin K, a cholesterol-lowering agent, than MFR produced using the wild-type strain. In addition, pigment production was remarkably increased, and the antioxidant activity was increased as well. The results from this study suggest that Monascus species, which are important industrial fermentative fungi in Asia, can be improved for the production of functional foods by overexpressing the laeA gene.

홍국 분말을 식빵에 일정한 비율로 첨가하여 품질 특성을 조사한 결과, 홍국 분말첨가량이 증가할수록 반죽 수율이 다소 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나, 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 식빵의 부피는 대조구보다 홍국 분말 첨가구에서 낮았으며, 첨가량이 증가할수록 다소 감소하였다. 식빵의 색깔, 향기, 맛, 질감 그리고 종합적인 기호도에 대한 관능 검사 결과, 홍국 분말 1% 첨가군에서 기호도가 높았다. 제품의 색깔은 홍국 분말의 첨가량이 증가할수록 L값은 감소되고, a와 b값은 증가되는 경향을 보였다. 물성 측정 결과 홍국 분말 첨가량이 증가할수록 신장성, 경도, 점성, 파쇄성이 높은 값을 나타내었으나, 탄력성은 감소되었고, 응집성은 첨가군간의 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 위와 같이 홍국 분말의 첨가가 식빵의 품질 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 제빵 재료로 이용 가능할 뿐만 아니라 항암, 항균, 혈압 강하, 콜레스테롤 억제 등이 있는 기능성 식품으로 개발 가능성이 높은 것으로 사료된다.

Monascus pigment was produced by Monascus species. During Monascus fermentation, citrinin, the mycotoxin was produced with pigments. Citrinin can become a problem for use of monascus pigment as a food colorant. We found adding of S. cerevisiae filtrate during Monascus cultivation could enhance production of red pigment whereas it could reduce citrinin level. When we added the filtrate at 24 hand 48 h, respectively, pigment production increased about 400% and citrinin concentration decreased to 30%. In a glucose medium, there was no special effect by addition of filtrate. On the other hand, the effect was striking in a sucrose medium.

Monacolin K-enriched ganghwayakssuk (Artemisia princeps Pamp.) was developed by fermentation with Monascus sp. Among the 15 Monascus spp. isolated previously from Monascus fermentation products, Monascus pilosus KMU108 produced 2,219 mg/kg of monacolin K during ganghwayakssuk fermentation with no detectable citrinin. The optimum concentrations of ganghwayakssuk and glucose determined from the response surface methodology (RSM) design were 2.2% and 3.8%, respectively. By applying these conditions, the monacolin K productivity was increased to 3,007 mg/kg after 15 days of fermentation. On the other hand, other characteristics such as the total content of flavonoids and phenolic compounds, and the antioxidant activity were relatively unchanged. Therefore, Monascus-fermented ganghwayakssuk is an excellent biomaterial for the development of functional foods because of its high level of monacolin K, known to lower cholesterol levels.
