Design of Experiments and Optimization of Monacolin K Green Extraction from Red Yeast Rice by Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

Monacolin K (MK), in red yeast rice (RYR) in the forms of lactone (LMK) and hydroxy acid (AMK), is known for its anti-hypercholesterolemic activity. Under the rising demand for natural bioactive molecules, we present a green ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) optimization study for MK in RYR. The...
