β‐Carotene—production methods, biosynthesis from Phaffia rhodozyma, factors affecting its production during fermentation, pharmacological properties: A review

Abstract: β-Carotene is the most treasured provitamin A carotenoid molecule exhibiting antioxidant and coloring properties and significant applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. β-Carotene has many biological functions within the human body; however, it is not synthesized within the human body, so its requirements are fulfilled through food and pharmaceuticals. Its manufacturing via chemical synthesis or extraction from plants offers low yields with excessive manufacturing expenses, whic… Show more

“…β-Carotene, with high added value, is usually obtained by chemical synthesis, plant extraction, and microbial fermentation. 9 The β-carotene produced by microbial fermentation has a high biological activity and is not season restricted. 10 Y. lipolytica has garnered much interest for the heterologous synthesis of β-carotene.…”

“…They can be found in vegetables and in fruits, in which orange carrots are the most common source of β‐carotene. As said above, industrial carotenoids are produced by extraction and chemical synthesis; chemical synthesis produces hazardous wastes, which are harmful to the environment (Gupta et al, 2022).…”

“…Carotenoids have been proven as potent antioxidant and anticancer agents, in addition, many of them including zeaxanthin and lutein, protect the eyes from cataracts and macular degeneration (Jaswir et al 2011 ; Mrowicka et al 2022 ). Due to their biological characteristics and possible advantages for human health, many carotenoids are currently employed as natural colorants for food, dietary supplements and nutraceuticals for pharmacological and aesthetic applications (Ashokkumar et al 2022 ; Guleria et al 2017 ; Gupta et al 2022 ).…”
