This invention discloses a fermentation medium for Monacolin K production by Monascus purpureus with added traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, specifically honeysuckle. Single-factor experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of honeysuckle on the growth and metabolism of Monascus purpureus. The results showed that adding 0.8 g of honeysuckle powder at 48 h of fermentation had the most significant promoting effect on Monacolin K synthesis, increasing Monacolin K production by up to 1.54 times, reaching 536.10 mg / L. Subsequent fermentation experiments indicated that honeysuckle provided abundant carbon and nitrogen sources and an acidic environment for the growth of Monascus purpureus, exhibiting a positive promoting effect on the entire metabolic process. The expression of nine genes related to Monacolin K synthesis also showed an upregulation trend. Simultaneously, the addition of honeysuckle significantly increased the content of total flavonoids and total polyphenols, and greatly enhanced the in vitro antioxidant activity of the fermentation products.

The invention relates to a modern solid-state fermentation high-activity polysaccharide monascus beautiful millettia root and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microbial solid-state fermentation. The product is prepared from Monascus purpureus Yang-Y3000 with the preservation number of GDMCC No: 64057 through solid state fermentation of the beautiful millettia roots, and the product is prepared from the beautiful millettia roots through the solid state fermentation of the Monascus purpureus Yang-Y3000 with the preservation number of GDMCC No: 64057. The preparation method comprises the following steps: cleaning and slicing beautiful millettia roots, pretreating the beautiful millettia roots with acidified water, mixing the pretreated beautiful millettia roots with rice flour and water according to a specific ratio, sterilizing, inoculating liquid seeds of the strains, fermenting at 30-35 DEG C for 100-144 hours, and finally drying at low temperature. According to the method, the high-efficiency biotransformation capability of a specific strain in an acidic solid environment is utilized, so that the content of crude polysaccharide and crude protein of the product is remarkably increased compared with that of raw materials, meanwhile, the content of total flavonoids is greatly reduced, the product does not contain harmful mycotoxins of monacolin K and citrinin, and the remodeling of the raw material component spectrum of the beautiful millettia root is successfully realized.
