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 β-carotene, γ-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 β-carotene, γ-carotene, and lycopene (as percent of total carotenoids) was 60.1%, 32.5%, and 7.4%, respectively.
