| Research Abstract |
Monacolin K, a cholesterol-lowing agent, is a secondary metabolite of Monascus koji. The effective utilization of M.koji contaiing monacolin K in bread have not been reported. So,the influence of M.koji in making bread on the microstructure and sensory evaluation were investigated. Bread containing 2% M.koji, the gas cell walls of the breads contained small holes. The results of sensory evaluation indicated that bread containing 0.05% to 0.1% M.koji were provided high evaluation in all six items investigated.In the experiment to breed rats with the bread containing M.koji,the increase in body weight did not have significant difference compared with the control rats, but, contents of plasma total cholesterol were decreased.
