Jackfruit Seed – A Novel Substrate for the Production of Monascus Pigments through Solid-State Fermentation

Solid-state fermentation was carried out using jackfruit seed powder as substrate for the production of pigments using a fungal culture of Monascus purpureus. Due to the buffering nature of jackfruit seed powder, colour of pigments produced was stable over a wide range of initial pH of the substrate...
