Encapsulation has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance carotenoid stability, bioavailability, and antioxidant capacity. This technique involves enclosing carotenoids within protective materials at the micro or nanoscale, protecting against environmental, processing, and gastrointestinal stresses.

Researchers have identified a citrus chimera with distinctive tissue origins and carotenoid profiles. It is discovered that fruit tissues develop from all three cell layers but in different proportions. A key transcription factor, MYB107, regulates β‐cryptoxanthin production by directly activating carotenoid biosynthesis genes, explaining why some ...

Genetic modification of tomato with the tobacco lycopene β-cyclase gene produces high β-carotene and lycopene fruit [PDF]
Transgenic Solanum lycopersicum plants expressing an additional copy of the lycopene beta-cyclase gene (LCYB) from Nicotiana tabacum, under the control of the Arabidopsis polyubiquitin promoter (UBQ3), have been generated.

ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Carotenoid Profiles in Pigment-Protein Complexes of Rhodospirillum rubrum [PDF]
Young cells of Rhodospirillum rubrum contain a set of carotenoids from lycopene to spirilloxanthin. During growth, intermediates are almost completely converted to spirilloxan-thin. The ratio of the different carotenoid precursors vs.
