Research Focus

Functional food

(with a focus on relevant target ingredients)

  • Enzymes, proteins, peptides, amino acids
  • Saccharides, oligosaccharides
  • Fats, fatty acids, emulsifiers

Enzyme technology

(applied biochemistry)

  • Hydrolases: glycosidases, peptidases, lipases
  • Oxidoreductases: oxidases, peroxidases
  • Transferases: glycosyltransferases
  • Isomerases: carbohydrate epimerases

Enzyme production

(bioreactor technology and processing)

  • Wild-type strains (GRAS microorganisms)
  • Recombinantly produced systems (Lactobacillus, Saccharomyces, E. coli, P. pastoris, K. lactis)
