To reduce the production cost of Monascus pigments (MPs), the utilization of rice bran (RB), an agricultural waste product, as a substrate in submerged fermentation was conducted in this study. To improve MP production, different nutritional ingredients including mannitol (Man), NH4NO3 (AN), ZnSO4 (...
