Kinetics of red pigment fermentation by Monascus purpureus FTC 5391 using various sources of carbon (glucose, fructose, maltose and sucrose) were analysed using a model based on Logistic and Leudeking-Piret equations. Using the optimal concentration of fructose, batch fermentation without pH control...
