Original Abstract

Red yeasts belong to kingdom Fungi (mycota) and are capable of production and accumulation of significant amount of lipid content up to 85% (w/w). Moreover, they synthesize carotenoid, yellow to red colorants, with antioxidant properties and some having a provitamin A activity as well. Due to their bioactivity, carotenoids are often employed in many food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Red yeasts do not compete with plant for growth space and can be cultivated at a large industrial scale. Additionally red yeasts can be cultivated on various substrates as well as on wastes of vegetable oil production, volatile fatty acids, and animal rest materials.
