Production of a carotenoid-rich product by alginate entrapment and fluid-bed drying of Dunaliella salina

A new carotenoid-rich product was formed by entrapment of Dunaliella salina in calcium alginate beads of di†erent alginate concentrations, followed by drying in a Ñuid-bed dryer. The drying process yielded b-carotene recoveries of between 79 and 89% and produced a change in the 9-cis/all-trans ratio...
