Effects of nonionic surfactants on the production of extracellular polysaccharides, citrinin synthesis, physicochemical structural characteristics, and in vitro hypoglycaemic activity of Monascus purpureus YY-1.

Monascus extracellular polysaccharides exhibit diverse bioactivities, including antioxidant, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effects. Nevertheless, their low native yield restricts practical applications. To improve the fermentation yield and functional properties of EPS, Monascus purpureus YY-1 was employed as the exp...
