Precision Fermentation
Fermentation has accompanied mankind since early times. Beer, wine, sourdough and kimchi are just a few examples. In principle, fermentation involves enzymes or microorganisms producing one or more new substances from a starting substrate. In beer production, for example, alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar.
The Precision Fermentation approach
Precision Fermentation now goes one step further: through selection or genetic reprogramming, microorganisms in an intelligent bioreactor can produce a variety of food ingredients such as proteins, vitamins, enzymes, aromas, pigments and fats. It is already possible to produce cheese from milk proteins that has never come into contact with a cow.
A new billion dollar market
This is an interesting process, and not just in terms of the ecological footprint: The Boston Consulting Group and impact investor Blue Horizon expect alternative proteins alone to generate sales of 290 billion US dollars along the value chain by 2035.
Intelligent bioreactor as key component
The most important component of Precision Fermentation in terms of process technology is the bioreactor.
On the one hand, it must be able to precisely implement the very individual process parameters of the organisms, such as substrate supply, temperature, aeration or the use of an agitator. In addition, remarkably high demands are placed on its hygienic design and cleanability.
These are all challenges that Ziemann Holvrieka GmbH meets without reservation thanks to its more than 170 years of experience in the design and production of high-quality tanks and process solutions for the global beverage and liquid food industry.
For example, the HACCP specifications and recommendations of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) are implemented consistently and down to the last detail right from the design stage.
With the state-of-the-art electric polishing systems, roughness depths of less than 0.3 μm can be achieved. A riboflavin test is also carried out before delivery to ensure that the surfaces can be cleaned efficiently and without leaving any residue.
