ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed toward a process for producing zeaxanthin which includes mutating algal microorganisms, selecting from said mutated microorganisms a microorganism capable of producing zeaxanthin, culturing the selected microorganism in an effective medium to produce zeaxanthin, and recovering zeaxanthin produced by the selected microorganism. The present invention also provides microorganisms capable of producing zeaxanthin, formulations containing zeaxanthin produced by the disclosed process and the use of such formulations to enhance pigmentation and to reduce damage caused by reactive oxygen species and phototoxic molecules.
