Proceeding of the 4 rd International Symposium“NEW RESEARCH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY” USAMV Bucharest, Romania, 2011sp.metabolites. In this case, this product increased the rate of cicatrisation process with 70%in comparison with placebo tests in the case in which these bioproducts was administered inthe 4 day of post skin excision. The improvement of scars retraction can be due to presenceof some compound based on glucosamine derivate present in the Monascus metabolites.Further study are needed to determine the therapeutic effect of other active component fromred yeast rice, including sterols, isoflavones and tannins.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The work was financially supported by the projectPOSDRU/89/1.5/S/52432 from 1.04.2010 - Institutional organization of a postdoctoralschool of national interest "Applied biotechnology with impact in the Romanian economy";the project was cofunded by the EU Social Fund in the framework of the SectorialOperational Programme 2007-2013 for Human Resources DevelopmentREFERENCES1.Akihisa, T., Tokuda, H., (2005), Azaphilones furanoisophthalides, and aminoacids from theextracts of Monascus pilosus-fermented rice (red mould rice) and ther chemopreventive effects.J.Agric.
