In the fungal industry it is important to have a good quality inoculum that is able to colonise the substrate with a low risk of contamination for the production of metabolites of interest. The aim of the research was to produce a submerged fermentation culture of Monascus purpureus using quinoa as substrate with a final volume of 100mL at different concentrations of sodium chloride (M), pH and agitation (rpm). Biomass was measured by an indirect method of N-acetylglucosamine quantification, while pigments were analysed by spectrophotometry. Higher biomass production was obtained at 0.01M sodium chloride concentration, pH 6 and 120rpm agitation resulting in 34.231 ± 0.076mg/g N-Acetylglucosamine in dry sample and pigment production of 0.725 ± 0.023, 0.381 ± 0.009 and 0.283 ± 0.025 absorbance at 400, 470 and 500nm wavelengths respectively. It was also determined that fermentation can be stopped at 120h. The biomass obtained was used in the solid-state fermentation of quinoa grains, giving good results of invasion and pigment formation, demonstrating that it is a fast, controlled and easy to handle inoculum for the production of Monascus metabolites of industrial interest.
