Red yeast pigment is a natural food coloring produced by fermentation of filamentous fungi of the Monascus genus. Its commercial name is Red Yeast Rice. It is made primarily from rice and soybeans through liquid fermentation culture, extraction, concentration, and refining by Monascus purpureus. Red yeast pigment possesses natural red pigment properties and is widely used in the food industry. Red yeast rice is a product produced by fermenting rice with Monascus purpureus. Besides being used as a food additive, red yeast rice also possesses various biological activities. Modern research shows that red yeast rice has antioxidant, lipid-lowering, blood sugar-lowering, and anti-Alzheimer's disease effects. It can regulate lipid and glucose metabolism, and inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

[0003] Solid-liquid separation of red yeast rice fermentation products usually employs traditional processes such as centrifugation, plate and frame filtration, or vacuum filtration. Traditional single centrifugation or filtration methods have low separation efficiency and cannot meet the solid-liquid separation requirements of high-viscosity fermentation broth. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency separation and extraction device for red yeast rice fermentation products. Utility Model Content
