摘要

A method for the production of a red colorant, characterized in that cultivating the strain Penicillium oxalicum var. Armeniaca CCM 8242 at a temperature of 25 to 30 °C, at a gauge pressure of 50 to 80 kPa, in a broth of pH 3 to 9, containing carbohydrates and ammonia nitrogen, for 60 to 72 hours, and thereafter the liquid is removed from the nutrient broth and the resulting red colorant is isolated from said liquid.
