research project

C1TOCO – Biotechnological conversion of methanol (C1) to tocochromanols

The aim of this project is to convert methanol, which can be produced from CO2, into antioxidant substances in the form of a fermentative process. These are particularly important for the feed industry to stabilise feed with increased fat content. The aim of this research is to develop and optimise a methanol-based production process, which consists of fermentation with the microorganism Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the subsequent processing of the target substances. The project includes economic feasibility studies from the beginning to ensure economic viability.
