Identification of carotenoids produced from cheese whey by Blakeslea trispora in submerged fermentation
1Department of Food Science and Technology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Abstract:
The identification of carotenoids in B. trispora during pigment production from deproteinized hydrolyzed whey supplemented with plant oils was studied. The carotenoid content in Blakeslea trispora were beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, and lycopene. The composition of carotenoids depends of the amount of oils added to the cheese whey. At the maximum concentration of carotenoids, the proportions of beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, and lycopene (as percent of total carotenoids) was 60.1%, 32.5%, and 7.4%, respectively.
