Abstract

Red yeast rice is produced by growing Monascus sp.on rice to produce a red-colored product.Although for years it has been known that there are six pigments and other secondary metabolic products from Monascus sp.,such as monacolin K,γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA),ect.,and substances with a wide range of biological and therapeutic benefits,including anticarcinogenic,antioxidative,and hypolipidemic activities,which have been described.In this paper,current status and progress of researches on several major metabolic products from Monascus sp.were introduced.

Key words： Monascus; red yeast rice; secondary metabolic
