Enzymatic carbohydrate biocatalysis pathway: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inefficient chemical synthesis and unpalatable bioactive profiles increase manufacturing costs and limit consumer adoption. These innovations utilize specific enzymatic pathways and molecular encapsulation to ensure high-purity yields and sensory neutrality.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Enzymatic carbohydrate biocatalysis pathway?

Low carbohydrate conversion efficiency

(8)evidences

Inefficient enzymatic conversion and poor recovery of complex human milk oligosaccharides from reaction mixtures. Overcoming these limitations enables the industrial-scale production of high-purity bioactive carbohydrates.

Low biocatalytic precursor yields

(7)evidences

Natural peptide sequences often trigger strong bitter taste receptors, limiting their use in nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. Eliminating this sensory defect increases consumer compliance and product viability.
