The article “Fermentative production, comparative characterization with carrots, and functional analysis of β-carotene produced from Rhodotorulla toruloids” by Bahaa Aldeen Abdalrahman Hadi, published in Nutr Cur 2024; 03: e155– Doi: 10.57625/nec.2024.73, has been retracted by the Editor in Chief for the following reasons.
We received an email asking to retract Dr. Bahaa Aldeen Abdalrahman Hadi’s article “Fermentative production, comparative characterization with carrots, and functional analysis of β-carotene produced from Rhodotorulla toruloids” because he was not the sole author of that research and there was no agreement on its publication. We launched an investigation and contacted Dr. Bahaa Aldeen Abdalrahman Hadi.
Dr. Bahaa Aldeen Abdalrahman Hadi admitted that the manuscript was co-authored and previously submitted to another journal; later, after acceptance, the authors withdrew the article due to disagreements among them. Subsequently, he submitted the manuscript to Nutrimentum et Curae after having fully revised it. Therefore, given the checks carried out, the Editor in Chief and the NEC staff decided to withdraw the manuscript.
This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
