Description

This edition of Industrial Bioprocessing Alert features innovations in industrial fermentation, which is increasingly important as the trend moves toward green technology. Fermentation allows the use of environmentally friendly bio-based feedstock. Advances in industrial biotechnology and synthetic biology also drive innovations in fermentation technology. Innovations profiled in this alert are for the genetic engineering of organisms for fermentation, sustainable succinic acid production, fermentation through biocatalyst immobilization, and controlled fermentation for cocoa processing.

The Industrial Bioprocessing Alert provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.

The Materials and Coatings cluster tracks research & innovation trends and developments across specialty chemicals, plastics, polymers, chemicals, bio-chemicals, metals, coatings, thinfilms, surface treatments, composites, alloys, oil and gas, fuel additives, fibers and several other related technologies and its impact and application across industries.
