More Information
Summary:Process for the production of lycopene. The present invention refers to a new process of obtaining carotenoids, especially such as Blakeslea. A fermentation method is described which allows obtaining an increase in the production of lycopene, based on the addition of trisporic acids. The process is performed starting from wild strains or mutants of them, in single or mixed culture. The addition of trisporic acids can take place at the start of or during fermentation and their origin can be a partially purified preparation or a non-purified source of them.
