Optimization of solvent systems for color fractionation of monascus pigment

Monascus fungi are unique among the various microorganisms that produce edible pigments, which consist of red, orange, and yellow. These pigments are typically present in a mixture. Hence, pigment separation is needed. This study aims to optimize solvent systems that can effectively fractionate the...
