“…For example, though Monascus sp. is popularly used for the production of fermented food products in Asian countries for 1,000 years, their use as food colorants is not approved in the United States or European Union due to the co-production of citrinin, exhibiting hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, or carcinogenic properties ( Gmoser et al, 2017 ; He et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, the major azaphilone pigments produced by Monascus sp.…”

Monasucs pigments, as natural food colorants, have worldwide popularity owing to their antibacterial ability and superior coloring characteristics, as well as various applications in food, medicine, cosmetics and several other fields. Therefore, there is a considerable demand of pigments and various approaches have been conducted to improve pigment production. However, citrinin, which causes great harm to human health, is undesirably generated during the fermentation. Thus, great efforts have been made to increase pigment production and decrease citrinin formation by culture media and condition optimization, mutation breeding or genetic engineering. For the purpose of giving insight for further research, this article makes a summary of existing study advances in Monasucs pigment production. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Monascus pigments (MPs) have been used as natural food pigments for many years. There is a high demand for Monascus red pigments (MRPs) to enhance color and for antibacterial and cancer‐prevention therapies in food and medicine. Most of MRPs aren't water‐soluble, and the yield of water‐soluble MRPs is naturally low. But on the other hand, water‐soluble MRP is more cost‐effective for application in industrial mass production. Therefore, it's important to improve the yield of water‐soluble MRPs. Environmental factors have significant influence on the synthesis of water‐soluble MRPs, which is crucial for the development of industrial production of water‐soluble MRPs. This review introduces the biosynthetic pathways of water‐soluble MRPs and summarizes the effects of environmental factors on the yield of water‐soluble MRPs. Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl‐CoA) is a precursor for MPs synthesis. The carbon and nitrogen sources and the carbon/nitrogen ratio can impact MPs production by regulating the metabolic pathway of acetyl‐CoA. Optimization of fermentation conditions to change the morphology of Monascus can stimulate the synthesis of MPs. The appropriate choice of nitrogen sources and pH values can promote the synthesis of MRPs from MPs. Additives such as metal ions and non‐ionic surfactants can affect the fluidity of Monascus cell membrane and promote the transformation of MRPs into water‐soluble MRPs. This review will lay the foundation for the industrial production of water‐soluble MRPs.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
