Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a recombinant microorganism for producing crocin in which a gene (CCD2) encoding carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase, a gene (aldH) encoding crocetin dialdehyde dehydrogenase and a gene (UDP-glycosyltransftrase, UGT) encoding crocin biosynthesis enzyme are introduced, and a method for producing crocin using the same. Compared with the conventional method for producing crocin, which is produced in small amounts through a part of plants or callus, the production method using the recombinant microorganism of the present disclosure enables mass production of crocin.
