Growth Opportunities in Sustainable Packaging Materials, Artificial Sweeteners, and Cell Culturing

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on the development of biological herbicides for weed control while maintaining soil fertility, the development of environmentally friendly technologies based on engineered probiotic bacteria to reduce pathogens in shrimps, and the development of mycelium-based cell cultures for alternative meat production solutions. The TOE also features information on the use of sustainably sourced artificial sweeteners, which are diabetic-friendly, gluten-free, and have minimum health risks. Also in focus are a novel microfluidic-based cell processing technology for enhancing cell development and gene therapy. The TOE also covers innovations associated with the sustainable production of artificial leather sourced from flower waste, the use of controlled environment-based hydroponic systems for the growth of high-yielding crops, and the latest information on the formulation of biodegradable seaweed-based hyper-compostable packaging materials for replacing fossil fuel-based single-use plastics. The TOE additionally provides insights on the use of electrolytic oxidation processes for the degradation of micro-plastics at source and the latest developments in the use of bio-based precursors for the production of energy-rich rocket fuels.

The Industrial Bioprocessing TOE 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.
