In this paper, we selected the Monascus SE01 as primary strain. Processed with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide(5.0%, 5.67%,
6.33%, 7.0%, 7.67%), we obtained three grew well strains as SE1500, SE1700 and SE1900. Expanding culture of the three strains and determined the
SOD activity and color value. Compared with the original strain SE01, the three strains SOD activity were enhanced 3-fold, 2.5-fold, 1.3-fold and the
color value was increased 63.6%, 117.3% and 67.3% respectively. Comprehensive consideration of the SOD activity, color value and the application
of strain (mainly used for the production of the pigment), we confirmed the strain SE1700 was the object strain.
