Abstract
An express method for determining the content of lycopene and beta-car otene was developed on the basis of Firordt's spectrophotometric metho d. The suggested method is more rapid than the commonly accepted metho d for carotenoid detection by thin-layer chromatography, does not requ ire expensive sorbents, and is more precise. It was intended for the d etermination of carotenes in the mycelial fungus Blakeslea trispora us ed in industry.
