The production process in the industrial scale of astaxanthin from microalgae producing astaxanthin

摘要

The invenu00c7u00c3o here described for optimising the productivity of biomass of microalgae producing astaxanthin, in particular a microalga of the genus Haematococcus, and more in particular, Haematococcus pluvialis and astaxanthin when it is grown in closed photobioreactor type Bubble column, by a new method.Here called regressive in that starting from a small volume of inoculated medium go being inoculated reactors successively larger dimensions, and subsequently, the process is reversed, and if the inoculated medium for successively smaller reactors.Optimizing in this way the penetrau00c7u00c3o of solar rays and for improving physiological processes owing to the microalga that induce greater vegetative multiplication, as well as the production of total carotenes, which includes astaxanthin.
