The Rise of Biotech in Fragrance Production: Sustainable and Innovative Methods for Producing Fragrance Chemicals
Bio-production of fragrance chemicals is a rapidly developing field in the fragrance industry. Traditionally, fragrance chemicals were extracted from natural sources, such as plants, and then synthesized in a lab. However, these methods are often time-consuming and expensive, and can also have a negative impact on the environment. In recent years, advances in biotechnology have made it possible to produce fragrance chemicals through bio-production, also known as biomanufacturing. This process involves using living cells or microorganisms to produce the desired fragrance chemical. One of the most common methods of bio-production is through microbial fermentation. Microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are grown in a bioreactor under controlled conditions. These microorganisms are then engineered to produce the desired fragrance chemical. This can be achieved by inserting genes into the microorganisms that code for the enzymes required to produce the fragrance chemical. Another metho
