Method of production of beta-carotene by fermentation in mixed culture using (+) and (-) strains of Blakeslea trispora
The invention consists of fermenting selected strains of Blakeslea trispora in conditions such that beta-carotene is produced in the form of stabilized preparations with residual contents of other carotenoids (gamma-carotene and beta-zeacarotene). The fermentation conditions chosen include the progr...

Zusammenfassung: | The invention consists of fermenting selected strains of Blakeslea trispora in conditions such that beta-carotene is produced in the form of stabilized preparations with residual contents of other carotenoids (gamma-carotene and beta-zeacarotene). The fermentation conditions chosen include the programmed addition of oxygen and/or beta-ionone during fermentation, and control of the age of the vegetative growth phases of the strains employed. The beta-carotene obtained can be used in the pharmaceutical and food sectors. |
