Abstract The present study was carried out to evaluate of utilization some of food wastes such as guava pomace, sugar cane bagasse and corn cobs, which were treated by dilute acid hydrolysis to reducing sugars, and utilized as substrate for the production carotenoid by yeast strains Rhodotorula glutinis (isolated from some plant leaves) To select the suitable environmental conditions and nutrient requirements, which gave the highest production from total carotenoids. Improving the carotenoid productivity of the wild strain by mutagenesis treatment of the wild strain using UV radiation. In addition, the potential application of the yeast carotenoid extract as source of natural color and antioxidant agents were investigated in some food products. And utilizes The results obtained from the present study could be summarized as. |
