Solid state fermentation of Monascus purpureus in stirred drum bioreactor for production of red pigment from oil palm frond

Various concern have been reported regarding the effect of existing synthetic colorant, hence, mass production of natural colorant seems to be a potential alternative in fulfilling the demand of colorant in industries. This research has emphasized on the process capability of stirred drum bioreactor...

Solid state fermentation of Monascus purpureus in stirred drum bioreactor for production of red pigment from oil palm frond
description Various concern have been reported regarding the effect of existing synthetic colorant, hence, mass production of natural colorant seems to be a potential alternative in fulfilling the demand of colorant in industries. This research has emphasized on the process capability of stirred drum bioreactor on performing solid state fermentation (SSF) of Monascus purpureus FTC 5357 by using oil palm frond (OPF) for production of red pigment. Seven parameters, namely, initial moisture content (% v/w), inoculum size (spores/mL), peptone concentration (% w/w), initial pH, aeration rate (vvm), loading capacity (% v/v) and agitation programme (cycles/day) were evaluated for red pigment production, biomass, and glucose consumption.
