Anti-oxidants, vitamins, flavour and fragrances can be produced and enhanced naturally using single enzymes or mirobial cell factories, developed by acib. Let’s find out how!
Background
Technology
acib has also developed biocatalytic processes for the production of vitamins (e.g. natural Vitamin E) and antioxidants such as 3-Hydroxytyrosol from olive oil or nothofagin from Rooibos tea. Using similar enzymatic processes acib can also produce several important flavour & fragrance compounds e.g. Piperonal/Heliotropin, Lilial or (iso)borneol. For some other flavour/fragrance compounds acib has developed a whole-cell biotransformation using microbial cell factories to produce from simple sugars fragrant and tasty compounds such as the terpenoids nootkatone from grapefruits or ambrein from sperm whales.
