Beta-carotene biomass «Vitaton» is a complex substance produced through the microbiologic synthesis using a strain of Blakeslea trispora fungus. The substance is a dry powder of orange colour, containing 5-7 % of beta-carotene. Besides beta-carotene, «Vitaton» also contains vitamins of B group, vitamin E, essential amino and fatty acids.  (Beta-carotene biomass «Vitaton»)
