Unleashing Xylan's Potential with Enzymes for a Scope of Consumer Products
scroll
Enxylascope aims at bioprospecting and producing a novel set of xylan debranching enzymes with high catalytic activity and wide operation conditions, thereby demonstrating its ability to make xylan a key ingredient in a variety of consumer products.
TO THIS AIM
THE PROJECT WILL:
01.
Establish a process flow diagram including all process nodes, inputs, and outputs streams of the xylan conversion process using enzymes.
02.
Discover and characterise 4 novel xylan debranching enzymes by using multi-omics and high-throughput screening (HTPS) methods.
03.
Establish efficient and viable production systems for the selected enzymes.
04.
Introduce enzymatically modified xylan in consumer products by using product specific enzyme cocktails.
05.
Pilot the production of 4 enzymes and application testing of cosmetic, personal care, and nutraceutical products.
06.
Assess regulatory compliance and market acceptance of those consumer products.
The potential of these exploitable results as well as the applicability of modified xylans in the production systems of commercial products will be demonstrated in 6 new commercial products in the cosmetics, personal care and nutraceutical sectors.
