AI Technical Summary
Conventional chemical synthesis of retinoids is economically and environmentally challenging due to high raw material costs, price fluctuations, complex purification steps, and by-product generation, making it difficult to produce retinoid-containing products with high content.
A microbial oil composition containing retinoids and fatty acids is produced using microorganisms, such as Yarrowia lipolytica, genetically modified to enhance retinoid production, with extraction methods like solvent extraction and purification techniques to achieve high retinoid content.
Microbial oils with high levels of retinoids can be industrially utilized, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical synthesis.
