monascus red

Red yeast rice is a food additive produced through liquid fermentation, extraction, concentration, and refinement using a liquid medium primarily composed of rice as the main ingredient. It is fermented and cultivated with Monascus fungus (Monascus), or extracted, concentrated, and refined from red yeast rice. The red pigment of red yeast rice is unstable to light and gradually decomposes when exposed to light, including sunlight, ultraviolet light, and visible light.

Characteristics: Light red to dark purple powder, paste, or liquid.

Application:
Red yeast rice exhibits strong coloring power, vibrant color, and is safe and non-toxic. However, it is light-sensitive and should be stored away from light. Specific industry categories and usage levels can be referenced from the relevant provisions in the "GB2760-2014 National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives." For example, it can be used in appropriate quantities based on production needs and process requirements in products such as formulated milk, formulated condensed milk (including sweetened condensed milk and formulated condensed milk made with non-dairy ingredients), frozen beverages (excluding edible ice), jams, new soy products (soy protein and its puffed foods, soy-based meat substitutes, etc.), cured and preserved meat products (such as salted meat, cured meat, preserved duck, Chinese-style ham, sausage), cooked meat products, and seasonings (excluding salt and salt substitutes).
