Crocetin and crocins are high-value apocarotenoids recognized for their role as food colorants well numerous industrial therapeutic applications. Biotechnological platforms have the potential to replace traditional plant-based extraction of these compounds with a more sustainable approach. This review first introduced catalytic characteristics key enzymes involved in biosynthetic pathway crocetin crocins, including carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases, aldehyde dehydrogenases, uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases. Next, we highlighted advanced metabolic engineering strategies aimed at enhancing crocin production, such increasing pool precursors cofactors, protein mining engineering, tuning expression, biosensor, genomic integration, process optimization. Finally, paper proposed tools associated further boosting heterologous production meet commercial-scale demands.
