Information

Finding a useful enzyme or microorganism is only the start. It then has to do a specific job reliably, at a cost that makes sense for food production. Alexander Pelzer, VP and Head of Research & Development at BRAIN Biotech, will discuss how microbial discovery, strain development and bioprocess design can help meet those requirements. He will explore opportunities to improve ingredient functionality and production efficiency, and what it takes to develop a biological solution for commercial use.


What you’ll take away:


• Where enzymes and microorganisms could help solve ingredient and processing problems.
• How microbial discovery and strain development can improve production performance.
• What to consider when assessing a biological solution for use in food manufacturing.
• How strain development and process design influence each other during scale-up.
• Which technical and commercial questions to address before committing to further development.
