Production methods

Can use three spore brady’s bad sexual strain fermentation production  beta carotene. Three spore brady’s mildew “+” and “-” strains cultured in liquid medium 26 ℃ respectively 48 h, add various cultures respectively in fermentation medium, each about 10% dosage, two days after fermentation, to join the beta  ionone, in 26 ~ 28 ℃ fermentation temperature, pH =

3 ~ 6 days under conditions of 5, 7 ~ 7 0. Then killing cultures use damp heat (100 ℃ in 10 ~ 15 min), to prevent the carotene and fermentation of decomposition. The fermentation medium contains oil, which is dissolved in oil in the process of fermentation, so the bacteria are filtered out after fermentation and the carotene is in the filtrate. Filtrate in 50 ~ 55 ℃, vacuum drying, and then use petroleum ether extraction, column chromatography on again, after collecting liquid for a quick  beta carotene. “+” strain, culture “-” strain, culture fermentation heat filtration vacuum drying extraction column chromatography concentrated product.

use

It can be used as food additive and colorant. It can also be used as A health care product to treat vitamin A deficiency. It can also be used as feed additive.
