METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BETA-CAROTENE

A process for obtaining beta -carotene. The present invention relates to a new process for the production of beta -carotene from submerged cultures of mucor fungi such as Blakeslea, Choanephora or Phycomyces by means of addition to the culture medium of lecithin in conjunction with pH control once f...

Zusammenfassung:	A process for obtaining beta -carotene. The present invention relates to a new process for the production of beta -carotene from submerged cultures of mucor fungi such as Blakeslea, Choanephora or Phycomyces by means of addition to the culture medium of lecithin in conjunction with pH control once fermentation has started, a process that includes a step of recovery of beta -carotene that allows a simplification in the process, an optimisation of the yield, along with an increase in the purification of the product. Procedimiento de producción de {be}-caroteno. La presente invención se refiere a un nuevo procedimiento para la producción de {be}-caroteno a partir de cultivos sumergidos de hongos mucorales como Blakeslea, Choanephora o Phycomyces mediante la adición al medio de cultivo de lecitina conjuntamente con un control de pH una vez comenzada la fermentación, procedimiento que incluye un paso de recuperación de {be}-caroteno que permite obtener una simplificación en el proceso, una optimización en el rendimiento, junto con un incremento en la purificación del producto.
