Abstract
Background and Objective: Monascus purpureus can produce pigments with light yellow to dark red colors. It includes several health properties. In this study, a low-cost process has been developed for the production of natural pigments from filamentous fungi through solid-state fermentation using cheap substrates.
Material and Methods: In this study, cultivation conditions were optimized for the production of red Monascus pigment by Monascus purpureus ATCC16362 using response surface methodology. Incubation time (7-24 days), date waste syrup concentrations (1-69%) and NaCl contents (7-13.75 g.l-1) were analyzed base on central composite design.
Results and Conclusion: The maximum production of red Monascus pigment (5.10 AU.g-1) by Monascus purpureus was achieved using 55% date waste syrup concentration, 7 g.l-1 NaCl and incubation time of 21 days. At optimum conditions, µmax of 6.2 × 10-3 (mg.g-1.h-1), pigment efficiency of 0.238 (AU.g-1.day-1), conversion factor of biomass in red pigments of 0.25 (AU.mg-1.g-1), glucose utilization of 93% were achieved. Results showed that use of date waste syrup and wheat straw as substrates were successful in solid state cultivation for the production of red pigments by Monascus purpureus.
