Raw Glycerol and Parboiled Rice Effluent for Carotenoid Production: Effect of the Composition of Culture Medium and Initial pH.

Search for naturally grown food has stimulated the biotechnological production of carotenoids. Therefore, the use of the yeast has been researched due to its abilities to assimilate different sources as substrates and to produce high amounts of carotenoids. Furthermore, alternative sources have been used as the culture medium to reduce costs and environmental impact.
