Introduction
The genus Penicillium
contains approximately 100 toxigenic species, and the range of mycotoxin
classes produced is much broader than that of any other genus [1]. listed 27
mycotoxins produced by 32 species which possessed varying range of toxicity. Penicillium
toxins can be placed in two broad groups based on effect as renal and
neurotoxins [2]. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by certain
filamentous fungi. The toxic response due to fungal growth in food is called as
mycotoxicosis. Aflatoxins are produced mainly by A. flavus, A. parasiticus and
A. nominus. Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium [3] and
when ingested through food they intoxicate higher vertebrates including human.
Monascus pigments, which are produced by various species of Monascus,
often have been used as a natural colourant and as traditional natural food
additives, especially in Southern China, Japan and Southeastern Asia. The
limitation of wide using Monascus pigment is attributed to one of its
secondary metabolites named citrinin.s
