Researchers have determined the atom-by-atom structure of the fermentation enzyme phosphoketolase by cryogenic electron microscopy. They identified details that were mistakenly characterized by X-ray ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A device invented at Ohio State University has dramatically boosted the production of a chemical that performs tasks as diverse as scenting perfume and flavoring Swiss cheese.

A study published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports uncovers the complex chemical processes behind aboriginal fermentation processes. The work, which looks into the microbial communities ...

Adding an electrical jolt to fermentation of industrial food waste speeds up the process and increases the yield of platform chemicals that are valuable components in a wide range of products, new ...

Fermentation is one of the oldest biotechnologies, yet it’s now driving some of the most cutting-edge innovations in health, nutrition, and sustainability. From therapeutic enzymes and precision ...

The US FDA’s Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative provides a structure for “Quality by Design” (QbD) deployment. As part this initiative, knowledge of industrial processes is gained using ...

So, you have a great idea for a new fermentation-based product or ingredient, and a successful process in the lab. All that remains is to scale up to mass production. That’s just a matter of running ...
