Red yeast rice extract is prepared from red yeast rice by solvent extraction method and ethanol as extraction solvent, with red yeast rice as raw material, the appearance is red powder, and the active ingredients mainly include lovastatin. Red yeast rice is made by the Aspergillus fungus Monascus violaceum parasitic on japonica rice. Red yeast, Chinese medicine name. It is a red yeast rice made by the mycelium of the Aspergillus fungus Monascus purpureus Went. parasitic on the japonica rice. The production of traditional red yeast rice uses rice as raw material, after soaking, steaming, cooling, inoculating Monascus, fermenting under certain conditions, and finally drying it. Monascus is mainly used for the coloring of wine, vinegar, red fermented bean curd and braised pork, red sausage, candy, jam, juice drinks, cakes and other foods.
Active ingredient | Lovastatin |
CAS# | 75330-75-5 |
Molecular formula | C24H36O5 |
Molecular weight | 404.54 |
Benefits | Hypolipidemic |
1. It has the functions of invigorating the spleen and digesting food, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
2. For lowering blood lipids, lowering total cholesterol, reductase inhibitors, directly inhibiting HNG-coA reductase, blocking cholesterol synthesis.
3. Lovastatin can effectively reduce serum cholesterol levels in patients with heterozygous familial and non-familial hypercholesterolemia.
4. It has strong tinting power for protein.
5. It has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipid, and the monascin contained in it can prevent the production of cholesterol K.
1. In the field of food processing as a food coloring pigment.
2. In the field of medicine, it is used as a coloring agent for medicines and raw materials for functional health care products.
3. It is a pure natural, high safety food additive that is beneficial to human health.
