982)) 、 コストが高くなる欠点があった。(Prior Art) β-carotene is a pigment belonging to carotenoids, and in algae, it is a substance that inhibits the production of excessive active oxygen within cells by accepting electrons generated by strong light. It is used as a food coloring, and recently it has also been used as a health food. In the past, β-carotene was produced by a synthetic method (Japanese Patent Publication No. 1.0659/1982), but recently, due to concerns about the safety of synthetic products, there has been a growing preference for natural products, and natural β-carotene has been produced using seawater-based methods. Extracted from the algae Dunaliella is used, but 4M is used for β-carotene production.
It is necessary to prepare a medium containing a high concentration of NaG.

養方法が好ましい。There are two main methods for culturing algae. One is to culture aseptically in a culture tank or the like, and the other is to culture on a large scale in a pool, pond, lake, etc. without maintaining sterility. Although aseptic culturing methods are preferable for stable quality, non-sterile culturing methods are preferable from the viewpoint of reducing costs.

わらず細胞内で活性酸素が発生するため死滅しやすい。In general, the culture solution of some algae belonging to the genus Stichococcus, Chlamydomonas genus, Chlorella genus, and Euglena genus is frozen,
If the temperature exceeds 25°C, the cells often die, so it is preferable to keep the culture environment at 0°C or higher (however, if the temperature is 0°C, this is only if the culture solution does not freeze) and below 25°C. proliferation,
For β-carotene production capacity, the temperature should be 4°C or higher1.
It is preferable to maintain the temperature at 5°C or lower, particularly preferably 8°C or higher and 12°C or lower. Also, these algae are 70001 ux
If it is less than that, the proliferation ability and canthazanthin production decrease
If the concentration exceeds 400,001 ux, active oxygen is generated within the cells regardless of the presence or absence of canthazanthine, and cells tend to die.

001ux以上130001ux以下である。Among the algae used in the present invention, algae belonging to the genus Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, and Euglena, with the exception of some of the above, generally rarely die if the temperature exceeds 25°C but is below 40"C. However, if the temperature exceeds 40℃, they will easily die.Therefore, if the temperature exceeds 0℃ (but 0℃
It is preferable to keep the temperature at 40°C or lower (limited to cases where it is not frozen), and for growth and β-carotene production ability, it is preferable to keep it at a temperature of 4°C or higher and 35°C or lower, especially when 8°C
The temperature is preferably 12°C or higher. In addition, the intensity of light suitable for these algae differs, and the intensity of light irradiated may vary depending on the type of algae.
If the concentration is less than olux, the proliferation ability and production amount will decrease. 2000
If it exceeds 0.01 ux, active oxygen is generated within the cells and the cells die. Therefore, the preferred light intensity is 30001ux
more than 150,001 ux, particularly preferably 40

If the cells can continue to survive in culture wJ,
Not particularly limited. As long as it can continue to survive, it is not necessary to contain components necessary for proliferation, and a solution of an alkali metal halide simply dissolved in pure water may be used.

最適濃度がある場合が多い。The algae used in the present invention are freshwater algae, and if the concentration of alkali metal halide is high, they often die. Therefore, it is preferable that the alkali metal halide concentration does not affect the survival of the algae used. The upper limit of the viable concentration differs depending on the type of alkali metal halide and the type of algae, but in the case of sodium chloride, it is generally preferably 0.5M or less, and particularly preferably 0.3M or less. Preferably, on the other hand, as long as the algal cells are alive, a culture solution with a high concentration of alkali metal halide promotes the accumulation of β-carotene in the cells. From the above point of view, the most preferable alkali metal halide concentration varies depending on the type of alkali metal halide and the type of algae, but in the case of sodium chloride, it is generally optimal in the range of 0.25M to 0.35M. There is often a concentration.
