Abstract
The monacolin K content was determined to investigate the stability of monacolin K from red yeast rice after heating (20∼8$0^{\circ}C$), adjusting the pH (2∼8) by adding 3 N HCl or 3 N NaOH, adding the organic acid (6.0% acetic acid, 0.6% citric acid, 1.5% lactic acid) to pH 4.0 and adding the water (0∼80%). And the monacolin K was isolated from red yeast rice by conducting open column chromatography using neutral aluminum oxide. As a result, the stability of monacolin K decreased with increasing the temperature. The stability for pH was in the order of the unadjusted pH (pH 5.9)>8>4 and pH 2>10. The stability for organic acid was high in the order of lactic acid>citric acid>acetic acid, and the stability of monacolin K under acid was different according to the acid type. The degradation rate of monacolin K increased with increasing the water content. Moreover monacolin K was able to isolate from red and pink pigments as well as the other noncoloric compounds in red yeast rice. The yield of monacolin K was found to be 70%.
