Abstract
CITRUS molasses and other citrus by-products stimulate carotenogenesis by mated cultures of Blakeslea trispora1. However, the substances in citrus by-products that stimulate carotene production in the fermentation process remain unknown. We attempted to determine the nature of the enhancing agent present in one of these by-products, citrus molasses.
