IDENTIFICATION OF CAROTENOIDS PRODUCED FROM CHEESE WHEY BYBLAKESLEA TRISPORAIN SUBMERGED FERMENTATION

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%, respectivel… Show more

“…The idea of utilization of whey by the above-mentioned microorganisms was based on the fact that these microorganisms could present satisfactory growth on pure Lac utilized as the sole substrate; M. isabellina presented efficient Lac breakdown and consumption in nitrogen-limited media, whereas surprisingly enough, despite remarkable Lac assimilation, very feeble activity of b-galactosidase was detected [32]. Although a number of publications deal with the potentiality of SCO production by using whey as a microbial substrate principally by oleaginous yeasts [4,12,13,[35][36][37][38], this renewable material has never been previously used as a substrate by oleaginous Zygomycetes, since the sugar Lac, despite the previous investigation of our team in relation with M. isabellina [32] and our preliminary trials concerning T. elegans and Mucor sp., is generally considered as not an adequate substrate for the growth of these types of microorganisms [18,19,39,40]. strains on Lac-based carbon-limited (initial Lac adjusted at 10 g/L) resulted in complete Lac consumption within 100 h after inoculation with simultaneous biomass production of 4.5-5.5 g/L.…”

“…The values of the readings were expressed as percentage of the initial level of saturation. The carotenes produced were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as described by Varzakakou and Roukas [3]. The data are the average values of three independent experiments.…”

“…Recently, in our laboratory, the effect of plant oils, non-ionic surfactants, β-ionone, and the ratio of (+) and (−) mating type of B. trispora on carotene production from cheese whey in shake flask culture was studied [3,9,23]. In another relevant work, the phenomenon of autolysis in B. trispora during carotene production from deproteinized hydrolyzed whey in a bubble column reactor was studied [24].…”

“…The culture of B. trispora has no specific environmental and nutritional requirements. This fungus can produce carotenoids from various low cost raw materials such as corn flour, cheese whey, plant oil, beet molasses, industrial glycerol, and others [11][12][13][14][15]. Like the other carotenoids, lycopene biosynthesis is also stimulated by sexual communication of (+) and (−) mating types of B. trispora in joint culture, which was attributed to the role of trisporic acid [16][17][18].…”
