Abstract:Carotenoids are increasingly used in food and medical industry. However, the instability of carotenoids restricted its application. The stability of carotenoids extracts from a marine photosynthetic bacterium, Ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii P2, was studied under different storage conditions including light and dark, temperature (4–60°C), pH range (4.0–10.0), and three metallic solutions (Na+, Mg2+, & Fe3+). The results showed that carotenoids were suitable to store at dark, low temperature, and neutral‐to‐a… Show more
