“…Bühler et al (2015) reported the utilization of pear juice, jackfruit seeds, ethanol, fructose, maltose, sucrose, lactose, corn syrup, grape waste, cornflour, cassava starch, and glycerol as alternative substrates for pigment production of Monascus sp. Monascus FJ46 produced MFP with a lower yield of citrinin using various carbon sources, including cereals, tuber crops, and agroindustrial residues, compared with rice flour as control (Mu et al 2015). Citrinin is a mycotoxin produced by Monascus species, which has been a common problem in MFP production.…”
