ABSTRACT
A HPLC method of analysis of Monascus citrinin was established. More than 30 strains of Monascus spp. were cultured in steamed rice at solid state or in MSG liquid medium composed of monosodium glutamate as sole nitrogen source and glucose as sole carbon to investigate their ability of producing citrinin. The results indicated that most of the Monascus strains are able to produce citrinin. MSG medium can be used as a specific culture medium to qualitatively identify if the strain is the potential citrinin producer. But to confirm whether the Monascus strains are potential citrinin producers, these strains should be cultured in several cultivation methods, as the culture states and culture conditions influence the citrinin production greatly.
