Precision Fermentation

Fermentation has accompanied mankind since early times. Beer, wine, sourdough and kimchi are just a few examples. In principle, fermentation involves enzymes or microorganisms producing one or more new substances from a starting substrate. In beer production, for example, alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar.

The Precision Fermentation approach

Precision Fermentation now goes one step further: through selection or genetic reprogramming, microorganisms in an intelligent bioreactor can produce a variety of food ingredients such as proteins, vitamins, enzymes, aromas, pigments, and fats. It is already possible to produce cheese from milk proteins that has never come into contact with a cow.

A new billion dollar market

This is an interesting process, and not just in terms of the ecological footprint: The Boston Consulting Group and impact investor Blue Horizon expect alternative proteins alone to generate sales of 290 billion US dollars along the value chain by 2035.

 

A new billion dollar market

The most important component of Precision Fermentation in terms of process technology is the bioreactor.

On the one hand, it must be able to precisely implement the very individual process parameters of the organisms, such as substrate supply, temperature, aeration or the use of an agitator. In addition, remarkably high demands are placed on its hygienic design and cleanability.

For example, the HACCP specifications and recommendations of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) are implemented consistently and down to the last detail right from the design stage.

With the state-of-the-art electric polishing systems, roughness depths of less than 0.3 μm can be achieved. A riboflavin test is also carried out before delivery to ensure that the surfaces can be cleaned efficiently and without leaving any residue.

We are driven by our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Our bioreactor solutions are tailored to meet your specific process requirements, providing flexibility and safety every step of the way. Partner with us for a successful precision fermentation journey.
