Bioreactors for the Cultivation of Red Beet Hairy Roots

摘要: Since hairy root cultures of red beet were obtained at the end twentieth century, they have been intensively investigated over past decade as producers biologically active compounds, including food colorants (betacyanin and betaxanthin pigments), phenolic enzymes other proteins for understanding basic cellular physiologies well engineering their container designs, such bioreactors. The analyses available data concerning growth potential, nutrient needs secondary metabolite profiles outline these types in vitro effective pharmaceutical industries, although commercial scales are yet to be realized. main limitation development technologies is cost-effectiveness process need refinement an appropriate bioreactor system suitable further scale-up. This chapter summarizes recent advances cultivation cultures. application systems with different optimization conditions, monitoring assessment process, methods enhancement pigment production strategies on-line product recovery reviewed, compared discussed purpose assessing effectiveness industrial process. advantages biotechnologically produced colorants, possible applications law frame regulation well.
