Separation and Purification of Monascus Pigments from Red Yeast Rice

It is difficult to extract beneficial components from Monascus pigments due to their complex composition. The low purity of Monascus pigment preparations limits their further application in research and production. Therefore, this study was conducted to optimize the conditions for extraction and isolation of Monascus pigments from red yeast rice, to improve the purity of Monascus pigment preparations. Three fractions were isolated using column chromatography from red yeast rice, they were red, orange and yellow respectively. Then, the three fractions were analyzed for composition and purity using thin layer chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS). The chromatograms revealed that the yellow and orange fractions had complex compositions that were difficult to be separated, while the red fraction consisted of fewer components. Finally, a single component was isolated from the red fraction using a thin layer chromatography plate, identified as monascorubramine according to its molecular mass.

Ecological Dyeing of Polyamide 6, 6(PA66) Fabrics with Monascus Pigments in Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane(D5) Solvent

Synthetic dyes in the aqueous media have been commonly used for textile dyeing, resulting in resource and environmental pressure arising from consumption of water and environmentally unfriendly chemicals. In this study, an eco-friendly process of dyeing polyamide 6, 6(PA66) fabrics with natural Monascus pigments in decamethylcyclopentasiloxane(D5) solvent has been developed to minimize water consumption and effluent generation. The influence of processing parameters including dyeing temperature, dyebath pH and dyeing time on dyeing effects was explored. It was shown that color strength and color fastness of the samples dyed in D5 media were higher than those of the samples dyed in the aqueous media. Moreover, PA66 fabrics exhibited the highest color strength, good color fastness and a bacteriostatic rate of 53.6% against Staphylococcus aureus when it was dyed at pH of 3.5 and temperature of 80 ℃ for 30 min.

Repeated-batch Cultivation of Encapsulated Monascus purpureus by Polyelectrolyte Complex for Natural Pigment Production

In general,productions of natural pigment in submerged microorganism culture were much less than that in solid-state fermentation,because the solid-state culture can provide a support carrier for the mycelium. To improve natural pigment production,the cultivation of Monascus purpureus in submerged encapsulated cell was investigated. Monascus purpureus immobilized in polyelectrolyte complex(PEC) microcapsules,which were pre-pared by sodium cellulose sulphate(NaCS) and poly-dimethyl-diallyl-ammonium chloride(PDMDAAC),was a good substitute for submerged cell culture because it mimicked the solid-state environment. The repeated-batch process with encapsulated cells was studied in flasks and a bubble column. The results indicated that the bubble column was more suitable for the encapsulation culture than the shaking flasks because of its good mass transfer performance and minor shear stress on cells. Owing to the protection of the microcapsule's membrane,Monascus purpureus in microcapsules increased approximately three times over that in free cell culture with negligible cell leakage to the medium. The pigment production in the bubble column finally reached 3.82(OD500) ,which was two times higher than in free cell culture. In addition,the duration of each batch was shortened to 15% of that in free cell culture.

Monascus pigment-protected bone marrow-derived stem cells for heart failure treatment

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential in heart failure(HF)treatment.However,their clinical application is impeded by low retention rate and low cellular activity of MSCs caused by high inflammatory and reactive oxygen species(ROS)microenvironment.In this study,monascus pigment(MP)nanoparticle(PPM)was proposed for improving adverse microenvironment and assisting in transplantation of bone marrow-derived MSCs(BMSCs).Meanwhile,in order to load PPM and reduce the mechanical damage of BMSCs,injectable hydrogels based on Schiff base cross-linking were prepared.The PPM displays ROS-scavenging and macrophage phenotype-regulating capabilities,significantly enhancing BMSCs survival and activity in HF microenvironment.This hydrogel demonstrates superior biocompatibility,injectability,and tissue adhesion.With the synergistic effects of injectable,adhesive hydrogel and the microenvironment-modulating properties of MP,cardiac function was effectively improved in the pericardial sac of rats.Our results offer insights into advancing BMSCs-based HF therapies and their clinical applications.

前体物和诱导剂对红曲霉液态发酵产红曲红色素的影响

为了提高红曲霉(Monascus)GN01液态发酵产红曲红色素(MRPs)的产量,文章采用单因素实验法考察前体物和诱导剂的种类,以及添加量对红曲霉产MRPs的产量的影响。研究结果表明,前体物和诱导剂都有利于促进MRPs的产生,但促进程度存在一定的差异。作为前体物,CH3COONH(41 g/L)和CH3COOK(3 g/L)的处理分别将MRPs的产量提升了2.96倍和1.54倍;作为诱导剂,ZnSO(40.2 g/L)和曲拉通X-100(7%v/v)的处理分别将MRPs的产量提升了6倍和3倍,但曲拉通X-100的处理不利于红曲霉的生长。因此,CH3COONH4(1 g/L)和ZnSO(40.2 g/L)的处理更有助于进一步提高MRPs的产量。

β-乳球蛋白与红曲色素非共价相互作用及其对色素稳定性的影响

为探究在不同pH值(2.6、6.2、7.1、8.2)条件下,β-乳球蛋白(β-lactoglobulin,β-LG)与红曲色素(monascus pigments,Mps)提取物之间的结合特性,构建了4种复合体系,并利用荧光光谱、圆二色谱以及分子对接方法对β-LG与Mps之间的互作行为进行研究,同时评价了复合物(β-LG&Mps)的抗氧化活性、热稳定性以及光稳定性。结果表明,在实验pH值范围内,Mps与β-LG的结合导致β-LG内源荧光发生猝灭,二者主要借助范德华力、疏水相互作用以及氢键等非共价作用力结合,但β-LG的二级结构变化不显著;β-LG&Mps的DPPH自由基清除能力高于单独任一组分,但低于两组分之和,即β-LG与Mps在DPPH自由基清除方面表现出拮抗作用。与β-LG形成复合物后,在pH值为6.2、7.1、8.2,温度为50℃时,与未复合的Mps相比,Mps的保留率分别提高了58%、30%和24%;在pH值为6.2、7.1、8.2,温度为25℃,光照强度为600 Lux,光照时间为36 h时,与未复合的Mps相比,Mps的保留率分别提高了65%、43%和43%。在pH值为2.6时Mps热稳定性和光稳定性仍然较差,即β-LG提高了Mps在pH值为6.2、7.1、8.2时的热稳定性与光稳定性。通过食品组分相互作用对改善Mps稳定性的探讨,旨在为Mps相关产品的开发提供有益参考。

红曲色素的抗氧化活性及对HepG2氧化损伤的保护作用研究

目的研究纯化后的红曲色素(monascus pigments,MPs)抗氧化活性及对HepG2细胞氧化损伤的修复作用。方法以红曲米粉为原料,对其含有的MPs进行提取、纯化和鉴定。通过测定MPs的总抗氧化能力、1,1-二苯基-2-三硝基苯肼(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl,DPPH)自由基和2,2’-联氮-二(3-乙基-苯并噻唑啉-6-磺酸)二铵盐[2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)ammonium salt,ABTS]阳离子自由基清除率评估了其抗氧化活性。同时,选用0.20 mmol/L的H2O2建立氧化应激模型,探索不同浓度MPs对细胞氧化损伤的保护机制。结果纯化后的MPs含有4种MPs单体,分别为安卡红曲黄素、红曲玉红素、红曲素和潘红胺。MPs的总抗氧化能力(total antioxidant capacity,T-AOC)、DPPH自由基和ABTS阳离子自由基清除率与其浓度呈正相关。用不同浓度的MPs预处理后,与MC组相比,较低浓度(10μg/mL)的MPs能显著提高细胞的存活率,但较高浓度的MPs(20μg/mL)显著降低了细胞的存活率,这可能是H2O2与MPs协同作用导致的。随着MPs浓度增加,细胞中活性氧累积量逐渐减少。当MPs质量浓度为20μg/mL时,过氧化氢酶和超氧化物歧化酶活性分别从14.75 U/mL±0.04 U/mL、3.87 U/mL±0.09 U/mL提升至15.25 U/mL±0.05 U/mL、8.29 U/mL±0.68 U/mL。结论MPs有较强的自由基清除能力,对H2O2诱导的氧化损伤有保护作用,这可能是与MPs提高了抗氧化酶活性,降低了细胞内ROS累积量有关。

亚麻籽水溶蛋白与红曲黄色素相互作用及其对色素稳定性的影响

红曲黄色素是常见的天然食用色素且具有多种生理功效,但其水溶性较差,且对光、热、酸碱敏感,限制了其在食品领域的广泛应用。以亚麻籽水溶蛋白(water-soluble flaxseed protein,FPW)为载体制备其与红曲黄色素的复合物,利用组合光谱分析技术研究两种红曲黄色素(monascin,MS和ankaflavin,AK)与FPW之间的相互作用行为,考察FPW同富含红曲黄色素的红曲色素(Monascus pigments,Mps)复合后,色素在水溶液中的分散性与稳定性变化情况。荧光光谱分析发现,MS和AK均以静态猝灭方式与FPW结合,且均只存在一个结合位点,FP W-AK体系的结合常数大于FP W-MS体系;热力学参数分析表明,维系FP W-MS体系的主要作用力为氢键和范德华力,维系FP W-AK体系的主要作用力为氢键和静电作用。同步荧光光谱、三维荧光光谱分析表明,MS或AK的加入使FPW的氨基酸残基微环境发生改变,从而引起FPW的构象改变。紫外-可见光谱和红外光谱研究结果进一步证明,MS和AK的添加使FPW的二级结构发生改变。此外,与FPW复合后,Mps在水中的分散性提高,且与不同浓度的FPW形成复合物后,在温度为25℃,光照强度为3900 Lux,光照时间为72 h时,与游离的Mps相比,FP W-Mps的保留率分别提高了9.53%、16.92%、31.37%;在温度为4、25、50℃的避光条件下,FP W-Mps较游离的Mps的保留率分别提高了25.65%、22.04%、25.98%;在温度为25℃,pH值为3、5、7、9、11,避光条件下,FP W-Mps较游离的Mps的保留率分别提高了10.27%、12.96%、12.06%、17.82%、7.27%。与FPW复合后,在不同光照时间、温度和pH值条件下,Mps的保留率均增加,表明FPW可以提高Mps的光稳定性、热稳定性和酸碱稳定性。研究旨在为红曲黄色素稳定性研究提供新的思路。

光调控红色红曲菌M7及MrVeA基因相关突变株的功能分析

为了探讨光调控对红色红曲菌(Monascus ruber)M7、MrVeA基因相关突变株ΔMrVeA、OEMrVeA功能的影响,采用MrVeA基因敲除、过表达技术分别构建基因缺失菌株(ΔMrVeA)和过表达菌株(OEMrVeA)。以避光(黑暗)为对照,分析红光和白光对红色红曲菌M7、MrVeA基因突变株ΔMrVeA、OEMrVeA生长发育、红曲色素(Mps)和桔霉素(CIT)产生的影响。结果表明,黑暗条件下,突变株OEMrVeA闭囊壳和分生孢子的产量增加,菌丝发育、菌落颜色、生物量及色素含量与红色红曲菌(M.ruber)M7相比均无显著性差异,但产桔霉素能力比菌株M7降低7.03%,说明MrVeA基因的过表达会促进菌株M7的有性/无性繁殖,抑制桔霉素的生成。红光有利于突变株OEMrVeA的生长发育、有性/无性繁殖、红曲色素的生成,不利于突变株OEMrVeA生成桔霉素;白光不利于突变株OEMrVeA的生长发育、有性/无性繁殖、红曲色素的生成。研究结果可为低产甚至不产桔霉素的红曲菌工业化应用提供参考。
