Blakeslea trispora are further investigating whether the fungus "Blakeslea trispora" could be a potent effector of anti-aging because of its ability to efficiently mass produce amounts of lycopene. β-carotene is also a relevant component for human health and chronic diseases. β-carotene is a molecule which displays a red-orange pigment. Therefore, it is used as a coloring agent for food products. β-carotene is a member of carotenes which are highly unsaturated isoprene derivatives. Because "Blakeslea trispora" has an effective ability to produce great amount of β-carotene from lycopene, "Blakeslea trispora" is the main organism used for its production on an industrial scale. β-carotenes
Alumina effect pigment of all layers in the pigment structure, including the AlOsubstrate. Analytical investigations show that the thickness range of the aluminum oxide platelets and the resultant pigments can be controlled very precisely. The sparkle effect of the pigments in coating applications is controlled by the quantity of the added pigment. The effect is visible already at concentrations of 0.1% in the paint system. The intensity is steadily increased up to pigment concentrations of about 2%. The single light spots arising from the pigment structure and orientation in the paint system seem to spring back and forth when a painted metal plate
