Wuhan Jiacheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Wuhan Jiacheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2000 and makes red yeast rice and other Monascus fermentation products. It was one of the constructors of the Chinese national standard for red yeast rice.

Two lines run in parallel. The colour line covers red fermented rice at 1000 to 4000 units per gram and Monascus red at E80 to E150, used in meat processing and as a natural red pigment. The functional line is red yeast rice for health foods and supplements, where the active compound is naturally occurring lovastatin, or monacolin K, produced by fermentation of Monascus purpureus.

The company operates its own non-GMO rice growing base to keep raw material consistent, and holds patents on strain cultivation intended to stabilise the fermentation and the finished product. Certification covers ECOCERT Organic, ISO 9001, HACCP and ISO 22000, Kosher and Halal. It cooperates with universities and laboratories on fermentation process work and is associated with the Hubei food fermentation engineering technology research centre. Customers are in North America, Europe, the Russian Federation, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and North Africa. The office is at No. 79 Xudong Street, Hongshan district, Wuhan.
