Fermenting food with the help of microorganisms: mankind has been able to do that for a long time. Precision fermentation – using optimized microorganisms and fine-tuned bioprocess technology to produce targeted enzymes and other proteins on a large scale – is just one of the achievements of modern biotechnology.

 

Precisely developed and cultivated in fermenters, microorganisms give us the potential to produce almost any protein to an outstanding degree of purity. For more sustainability, for example. After all, the ecological footprint of microbially produced or plant-based food proteins promises to be significantly better than that of conventional systems in which animal foods are produced from plant feeds.

 

Let's ferment – but precisely!
