Carotenoids are natural pigments that can be produced through biotechnological processes. However, the costs relatively high and minimized by using lower-cost substrates as alternative nutrient sources. The fed-batch fermentation is one of techniques used to obtain a biomass concentration and/or maximum production. Thus, aim this work produce carotenoids in batch with yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CCT 7688 agroindustrial byproducts culture medium. Carotenoid production was increased...
Due to the biological importance of carotenoids, several works have been developed aiming for reduction carotenoid degradation, and one notable proposed alternative has formation microcapsules. Therefore, aim current paper was microencapsulation carotenogenic extracts from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa Sporidiobolus pararoseus by a lyophilization method utilizing gum arabic, xanthan gum, sodium alginate soy protein-like wall materials. The arabic showed greatest efficiency encapsulation R....
