摘要:Red yeast rice, known as Angkak, is a natural dye product of rice fermented by mold Monascus purpureus . Red yeast rice contains lovastatin compounds as secondary metabolites that have been shown to lower triglycerides and cholesterol. Increase secondary metabolites can be done by the addition of a source of vitamin B1 and zinc. Rice bran is a good source of vitamin B1 and zinc. This study aims to increase levels of lovastatin and red pigments are produced during the fermentation of red yeast rice. The study uses a completely randomized design consisting of 6 treatments: the addition of rice bran on the fermentation medium (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15%, respectively). The best treatment obtained from treatment adding with 5% rice bran where has the following characteristics: intensity of red pigment 3.574, 102.040 ppm lovastatin levels, the level of redness (a+) 15.40. The best treatment resulting red pigment solubility at a temperature of 25, 60, 80 and 100°C range from 1,149 to 2,552.
