Abstract Various biotechnological approaches have been employed to convert food waste into the value-added bioproducts through fermentation processes. Whey, a major waste generated by dairy industries, is considered an important environmental pollutant due to its massive production and high organic content. The purpose of this study is to produce red color pigment from whey by using Monascus purpureus. The submerged culture fermentation parameters have been optimized to produce the red Monascus pigment. Demineralized (DM), deproteinized (DP), and raw whey (W) powders were used as a substrate for pigment production by simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF). The maximum red pigment production was obtained as 38.4 UA510nm at the optimized condition of SHF. Optimum conditions of SHF were 2 % (v/v) inoculation ratio, 75 g/l of lactose as C source, 25 g/l of MSG as N source, and fermentation medium pH of 7.0. The specific growth rate of Monascus purpureus on whey and the maximum pigment production yield values were 0.023 h-1 and 4.55 UAd-1, respectively. This study is the first in the literature to show that DM whey is a sustainable substrate in the fermentation process of the Monascus purpureus red pigment.
