Abstract: In this experiment, the method of solid-state fermentation producing red koji with wheat and ending wine was studied. Using ending wine to adjust the substrate’s pH, the ration of ending wine to wheat powder was about 30%.The results exhibited that the color value of red koji was higher than 1400 after cultured at 32~35 ℃ for 14 days, when 40% wheat powder passes through 40 screen mesh, the initial pH and moisture of the substrate were 4.4~4.8 and 45%~50%, respectively.

Key words: Monascus, red koji, color value, ending wine
