Hello blucken
Here are the manufacturers that I have been able to identify for these
compounds:
BIOTIN
A. Roche Vitamins
1. Roche Vitamine GmbH
Produktion
Emil-Barell-Str. 3
D-79639 Grenzach-Wyhlen
Germany
“The Roche Grenzach plant next to the Rhine Located just over the
border from Switzerland, in Germany, this plant has been a focus for
investment by the Vitamins Division in recent years…
a multipurpose biotin production facility, which combines all the
activities that were formerly spread across a large number of sites.
Not only has capacity increased substantially, but production
efficiency has also increased thanks to this consolidation of
production processes. The phasing-in of the biotin plant began in
August 2000.”

“Multi-purpose production plant Its main purpose is to produce
carotenoids: apocarotenal, apo-ester, lycopene and zeaxanthin.
However, it is also used to produce biotin and one of its main
intermediates.”
Roche Vitamins http://www.roche-vitamins.com/home.htm
NB With respect to Roche Vitamins: “Heerlen, NL,10-Feb-2003 DSM and
Roche announced today that the contract to acquire Roche’s vitamins,
carotenoids and fine chemicals business has been signed. This
transaction is subject to approval by the anti-trust authorities.
Roche and DSM anticipate that the closing will take place in the
spring of 2003. The transfer of this business fits perfectly in the
strategic focusing of both companies.”
http://www5.dsm.com/en_US/html/media/press_releases/03-03-roche.htm
“20 May 2003 Roche Vitamins and Fine Chemicals takeover by DSM
delayed
The European Commission today said that they need more time to examine
a small part of DSM's intended acquisition of Roche Vitamins & Fine
Chemicals. The examination will be made to further analyze the impact
of the acquisition on the activities in both companies with regard to
feed enzymes. DSM has submitted a package of undertakings to the
European Commission to maintain effective competition…. DSM expects
approval early in the third quarter. As soon as approval is received,
closing can be effective from the first of the following month.”

“Shaklee took up the challenge. Through R&D, taking Beta Carotene as
an example, they grow the algae in tanks under the desert sun. When
harvesting, they pump air to bubble up the algae to the top of the
water. This further ensures that the raw material is kept in as good
condition as possilble, so the vitamin content is not spoilt….
Shaklee's pure, rich natural Beta Carotene is obtained by centrifugal
force (a method which Shaklee developed) to remove the Beta Carotene
without damaging it.”

company mass cultivates Dunaliella, an algal species originally
discovered in the Dead Sea and in the Bardawill lagoon in the Sinai

carotene which has been shown to be an important
natural anti free radicals and anticancer agent. NBT, which is now
owned by Nikken Sohonsha, grows the algae in large openponds and
harvests it by centrifugation. The algae are then dehydrated into a
dry powder, containing the essential stereoisomers of beta carotene
used in health foods,
pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and sent to Japan where the product is
formed into tablets and packaged.”
