Antioxidant Green Factories: Toward Sustainable Production of Vitamin E in Plant In Vitro Cultures.

ABSTRACT: Vitamin E is a dietary supplement synthesized only by photosynthetic organisms and, hence, is an essential vitamin for human well-being. Because of the ever-increasing demand for natural vitamin E and limitations in existing synthesis modes, attempts to improve its yield using plant in vitro cultures have gained traction in recent years. With inflating industrial production costs, integrative approaches to conventional bioprocess optimization is the need of the hour for multifold vitamin E productivity enhancement. In this review, we briefly discuss the structure, isomers, and important metabolic routes of biosynthesis for vitamin E in plants. We then emphasize its vital role in human health and its industrial applications and highlight the market demand and supply. We illustrate th
