红曲中橘霉素问题的研究进展

Advances of research on citrinin in red yeast rice

对目前国内外关于红曲M onascusspp.中橘霉素问题的研究进展进行总结,并分别针对橘霉素的理化性质、生物合成途径、定性定量检测方法、橘霉素和红曲的毒性以及降低橘霉素的措施进行了详细论述。

The advances of research on citrinin in Chinese red yeast rice is reviewed in this paper. Meanwhile the writer gives a detail discussion on the physical and chemical characteristic of citrinin, biosynthetic pathway of citrinin in Monascus spp., toxicity of citrinin and red yeast rice, particularly,on determination methods of citrinin and how to decrease the content of citrinin in Chinese red yeast rice.
