This research demonstrates the potential of R. Toruloides as carotenoid producer grown on low-cost crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel plant, and applications of PEF treatment on to extract proteins and fatty acids biomass as an alternative, mild extraction technique. The conversion rate of cr...
