06.

Assess regulatory compliance and market acceptance of those consumer products.

01.

Establish a process flow diagram including all process nodes, inputs, and outputs streams of the xylan conversion process using enzymes.

05.

Pilot the production of 4 enzymes and application testing of cosmetic, personal care, and nutraceutical products.

02.

Discover and characterise 4 novel xylan debranching enzymes by using multi-omics and high-throughput screening (HTPS) methods.

04.

Introduce enzymatically modified xylan in consumer products by using product specific enzyme cocktails.

03.

Establish efficient and viable production systems for the selected enzymes.

The project outcomes will set the basis for the following exploitable results

Bioprospecting for novel xylan debranching enzymes.

An efficient industrial process to produce selected enzymes and enzymatically modified xylans.

4 novel xylan-debranching enzymes to be used for xylan treatment.

A decision-making platform to guide and facilitate the enzyme cocktail design.

3 enzymatically modified xylan types.
