Abstract

Abstract:

The importance of carotenoids to human health is increasingly attracting people s attention. More and more carotenoid based functional foods are coming to markets. It is a tendency to progressively replace synthetic compounds and phytochemicals by low-cost, high-purity and safe products of microbial origin to meet the ever-increasing consumer demand for carotenoids. This article reviews the distribution, sources, production techniques and market potential of carotenoids of microbial origin in an effort to provide references for more effective utilization of this resource and the research and development of production techniques for safer and premium carotenoids based products.

Key words: carotenoid, microorganism, microalgae, trans-gene
