Dual regulation of lipid droplet-triacylglycerol metabolism and ERG9 expression for improved β-carotene production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background The limitation of storage space, product cytotoxicity and the competition for precursor are the major challenges for efficiently overproducing carotenoid in engineered non-carotenogenic microorganisms.

Stabilization of β-carotene embedded in a silica matrix and study of its physical properties

Materials Research Express, 2020
This work reports on the behavior of β -carotene within a silica matrix prepared by the sol-gel method. Results show that highly pure β -carotene integrates with the silica to form a silica-based composite. The interaction exhibited between the inorganic

Dihydroactinidiolide from thermal degradation of β-carotene [PDF]

, 2017
The formation of dihydroactinidiolide by thermal degradation of β-carotene was studied. A comparison of yields of dihydroactinidiolide in commercial β-carotene and β-carotene derived from crude palm oil (CPO) was investigated.

The effect of β-carotene supplementation above requirement on the production and reproduction performance of female sheep and goats - A mini review

Aceh Journal of Animal Science
The high rate of metabolic activity during breeding, pregnancy, parturition and lactation may lead to oxidative stress in sheep and goats. Antioxidant supplementation is proposed as a therapy for encountering resultant stress.

β-Carotene accelerates the resolution of atherosclerosis in mice

eLife
β-Carotene oxygenase 1 (BCO1) catalyzes the cleavage of β-carotene to form vitamin A. Besides its role in vision, vitamin A regulates the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and immune cell differentiation.
