Recombinant mogroside biosynthesis pathway: DSM-FirmenichLast 5 Years Research Landscape
Inconsistent natural extraction yields and off-target flavor profiles drive up production costs for high-intensity sweeteners. This cluster engineers specific enzymatic pathways within recombinant host cells to stabilize the synthesis of high-purity mogroside compounds.
What technical problems is DSM-Firmenich addressing in Recombinant mogroside biosynthesis pathway?
Insufficient natural sweetener supply
The scarcity and extraction limitations of high-intensity sweeteners from botanical sources create a bottleneck for commercial scalability. Overcoming this supply constraint allows for consistent, high-purity production independent of agricultural variability.
Inefficient natural sweetener supply
Natural extraction of high-intensity sweeteners like mogrosides is limited by agricultural variability and low plant concentrations. Establishing a scalable industrial production route overcomes the supply bottlenecks and high costs of traditional sourcing.
