Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different organic solvents and stationary phases affect the extraction and purification of carotenoids, particularly torularhodin, from the yeast Sporobolomyces ruberrimus.
- The best results were achieved using a mixture of acetone and hexane or ethyl ether, with the 9:1 acetone:hexane blend yielding the highest carotenoid recovery, along with a notable cell lysis rate.
- The use of silica as a stationary phase in preparative chromatography proved effective, resulting in successful purification of torularhodin, as confirmed by various chromatography techniques.
