Process for preparing fermentation of Sea TangleLaminariae japonica using Monascus sp. and its use

摘要

PURPOSE: A process for preparing fermented sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) using Monascus sp. and the use thereof are provided. The fermented sea tangle can improve liver function and prevent arteriosclerosis. CONSTITUTION: A process for preparing fermented sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) using Monascus sp. comprises the steps of: culturing Monascus sp. in a grain medium to prepare a starter of Monascus sp.; inoculating the starter of Monascus sp. into a mixture of sea tangle, soybean protein and grains; fermenting the Monascus sp.; and drying the Monascus sp. fermented medium and pulverizing the dried medium, wherein Monascus sp. is Monascus ruber; the grain is selected from polished rice, African millet, foxtail millet and barley; and the liver function is improved by decreasing the activity of GOT(glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase) and GPT(glutamate-pyruvate transaminase).
