Red yeast rice
Rice fermented with Monascus purpureus turns red.
- ... that rice fermented with the mold species Monascus purpureus turns dark red – hence red yeast rice (pictured) – and is used in both traditional Chinese medicine and as a modern-day dietary supplement? Source: Refs 3 (Erdogrul) and 4 (Song) support the use as TCM, and refs 21 (Gerards) and 22 (Peng) support dietary supplement
- ALT1:... that red yeast rice (pictured) is used in both traditional Chinese medicine and as a modern-day dietary supplement?
- ALT2:... that red yeast rice (pictured) is used as a food coloring agent, in traditional Chinese medicine, and as a modern-day dietary supplement?
- Reviewed: Per lists on my Talk page, to date I have reviewed seven DYKs and this is my seventh nomination, so ahead of the requirement. Last one reviewed was Oriental Basin pocket gopher
Improved to Good Article status by David notMD (talk). Self-nominated at 12:25, 17 August 2019 (UTC).
- Review: The article got the GA tag on 15th August, and was nominated on 17th August, within the stipulated time period. The article as per its GA status and a look over is well referenced and edited. The QPQ requirement is met. The image is clear and is licensed aptly.
- However I would just like to suggest phrasing a hook that is simpler to read. Also the caption and the hook convey the same information so a certain amount of duplicity is happening. Maybe a shorter more concise hook? This is just a suggestion to have an ALT hook and by no means a striking off of the first hook. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 02:33, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- ALT1 and ALT2 now provided (above). The initial hook was written before the decision to add the picture. David notMD (talk) 19:16, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- Overall: Done from my side
