“…Various ideas are proposed accordingly [126,134,135,145]. In this context, corn syrup, sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, rice bran, silage, whey, and crude glycerin are alternatives for producing carotenoids [146,147]. These products are found in abundance due to the production of biodiesel, sugar, and corn processing [148][149][150][151].…”

Carotenoids are an essential group of compounds that may be obtained by microbiological synthesis. They are instrumental in various areas of industry, medicine, agriculture, and ecology. The increase of carotenoids’ demand at the global market is now essential. At the moment, the production of natural carotenoids is more expensive than obtaining their synthetic forms, but several new approaches/directions on how to decrease this difference were developed during the last decades. This review briefly describes the information accumulated until now about the beneficial effects of carotenoids on human health protection, their possible application in the treatments of various diseases, and their use in the food and feed industry. This review also describes some issues that are linked with biotechnological production of fungal and yeasts carotenoids, as well as new approaches/directions to make their biotechnological production more efficient.
