Abstract:

Two Monascus metabolites with strong fluorescence, named MFA and MFB, were investigated for stability under different conditions such as strong acid, strong alkali, heat and light. Results showed that the alkali, heat and light stability of MFA and MFB was poor, but the stability of MFA and MFB for strong acid was better than for strong alkali.

Key words: Monascus sp., metabolite, fluorescent compound, stability
