Abstract

Monascus pigments, in addition to having attractive colors, have high coloring power, however, they are unstable at high temperatures and extreme pH. In this context, some alternative methods have been emerging to favor its stability, such as freeze drying. This study evaluated the effect of lyophilization on the stability against temperature (50 to 90 ºC) and pH (3 to 8) of Monascus purpureus CCT 3802 pigments produced by submerged fermentation. Thermal stability was based on the determination of the thermal degradation constant (Kd), half-life (t1/2), activation energy (Ea), decimal reduction value (D), Z value and the thermodynamic analysis that were calculated before and after lyophilization. The crude extract showed a value of Kd = 0.232 h-1, t1/2 = 3.0 h and D value = 9.93 h at 90 ºC and Z value = 31.25 h. However, the lyophilized extract showed Kd = 0.167 h-1, t1/2 = 4.2 h and D value = 13.84 h at 90 ºC and Z value = 58.82 h, demonstrating greater stability of this extract at high temperatures. The results obtained in relation to pH stability demonstrated that lyophilization showed less pigment degradation, with the percentage of pigments varying from 100 to 96% in 60 min. Therefore, freeze drying technology proved to be an excellent alternative to improve the stability of the pigments synthesized by Monascus purpureus CCT 3802.
