The invention relates to a method for preparing a 
monascus pigment, in particular to a method for preparing a 
monascus red 
pigment by utilizing immobilized enzymes. The method comprises the steps as follows: taking a 
monascus liquid 
fermentation solution as a 
raw material, homogenizing, enzymatically hydrolyzing the immobilized enzymes, alkalifying and filtering to obtain a monascus red 
pigment solution; and carrying out 
acid deposition on the monascus red pigment solution, washing and neutralizing the deposits, dehydrating and 
drying to obtain the monascus red pigment. The method has the advantages as follows: on one hand, the 
fermentation solution is effectively dispersed, broken, emulsified and mixed by utilizing a 
colloid mill, so that the subsequent 
enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency is improved and the monascus red pigment in monascus is fully released; and on the other hand, an 
enzyme preparation can be recycled, the 
reaction conditions are moderate, the monascus red pigment is concentrated through the 
acid deposition method, the process is simple, the 
energy consumption is low, and the product is easy to separate. The production cost can be remarkably reduced through the monascus red pigment prepared with the method. The monascus red pigment has the maximum absorption 
wavelength of 499 nm, is good in water 
solubility and light, heat, acid, alkali and 
metal stabilities, and is favorable for the monascus pigment industry development.
