In the study of the optimal culture conditions, it was found that the cultivation of Monascus ruber 31535 with tea leaves(4g), lemon residue(1g), at 30℃ for 6days will give the best result. The fermented product was tested on ammomia(NH3), and its deodorizing ratio was found to be 82%. The deodorant produced above slowed better deodorizing ratio (78%) at cooler temperature(4℃) than it was at room temperature. The deodorizing ratio reached to a plateau after 48h. When compared with two commercial deodorants, the fermented deodorant displayed much better results. The deodorizing ratio for commercial deodorants is 23% and 15%, respectively. Monascus ruber 31535 were also used to ferment chitin for production of deodorant. The ferment product from chitin was found to be a good absorber for ethylene. When ethylene produced by decomposed of ethephon was exposed to the above absorber, 91% of ethylene was absorbed after 24h of exposure at room temperature. The ethylene absorbed-ability of the fermented product was much better than those of commercial absorber.
