Abstract:Traditional Chinese food therapies often motivate the development of modern medicines, and learning from them will bring bright prospects. Monascus, a conventional Chinese fungus with centuries of use in the food industry, produces various metabolites, including natural pigments, lipid‐lowering substances, and other bioactive ingredients. Recent Monascus studies focused on the metabolite biosynthesis mechanisms, strain modifications, and fermentation process optimizations, significantly advancing Monascus deve… Show more
