Comprehensive chemical profiling of monascus-fermented rice product and screening of lipid-lowering compounds other than monacolins

Monascus-fermented rice product (MFRP) has been regarded as a dietary supplement and traditional medicine with circulation-promoting effects in China and other countries for centuries. This study was carried out to profile the chemical components in MFRP, and provide available information for elucidating the potential lipid-lowering compounds other than monacolins. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight...
