How is our January Enzyme of the Month CALB changing the world? Today, let’s explore three of the versatile applications of CALB enzymes 🍔🚗💄 🌱 Food Processing: CALB plays a crucial role in processing fats such as transforming vegetable oils into margarine and cocoa-butter equivalents through interesterification. Traditionally, the food and brewing industries have relied on chemical processes or hydrogenation for similar properties, but a shift towards using enzymes has enabled healthier food products with similar properties and less trans fats. 🔋 Biofuel Production: In the renewable energy sector, CALB, shines as a catalyst for the production of biodiesel. This process, called transesterification, breaks down triglycerides, the main constituents of natural fats and oils, into biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) and glycerol in the presence of methanol. Transesterification facilitates the creation of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel source. Its robustness and reusability under various conditions further enhance the efficiency and economic viability of biodiesel production processes. 💄 Beauty Products: CALB enzymes’ ability to emulsify, modify lipids, and stabilize ingredients improves the safety, texture, effectiveness, and shelf life of cosmetics and skincare products, including isopropyl myristate. Specifically, CALB enzymes significantly reduce bacterial contamination and unwanted chemical reactions, allowing higher-quality beauty products to be produced. 🧲Importantly, many of these applications rely on the immobilization of CALB, enhancing its stability, longevity, and ease of recovery attaching the enzyme on to a solid support to improve processing. CALB enzymes have incredibly diverse applications. Tune in next time to find out more about how biochemically it works. #EnzymaticFuture #Enzyme #CALB #Innovation #Sustainability #Biochemistry #Science #FoodProcessing #Biodiesel #RenewableEnergy #Biocatalysis

1 day, 1 share Oleochemicals are chemicals derived from natural fats and oils, typically from plant and animal sources. They are used in a wide range of products, including soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and even biodiesel. Here’s an overview of the key processes involved in oleochemical production: Key Processes in Oleochemical Production 1. Hydrolysis: - Description: This process involves breaking down triglycerides (fats and oils) into fatty acids and glycerol using water. - Reaction: Triglyceride + Water --> Fatty Acids + Glycerol - Conditions: Typically conducted at high temperatures (around 250°C) and pressures. 2. Transesterification: - Description: Fats react with alcohols (usually methanol) to produce fatty acid esters and glycerol. - Reaction: Triglyceride + Methanol --> Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) + Glycerol - Application: This process is commonly used in biodiesel production. 3. Hydrogenation: - Description: Unsaturated fatty acids or esters are converted into saturated fatty acids or alcohols by adding hydrogen. - Application: This process is used to produce stable fats for food products and fatty alcohols for detergents. - Saponification: - Description: The reaction of fats with a strong base (like sodium hydroxide) to produce soap and glycerol. - Reaction: Fat + Sodium Hydroxide --> Soap + Glycerol - Application: This is the traditional method for soap making. Importance of Oleochemicals 1. Sustainability: Oleochemicals are derived from renewable resources, making them more sustainable compared to petrochemicals. 2. Versatility: They are used in a wide range of industries, from personal care products to industrial applications. 3. Biodegradability: Products made from oleochemicals are generally more biodegradable, reducing environmental impact. #Chenzhu #Chenzhu_Instrument #Instrument_Protection_Device #Oleochemical

The goals of the food and beverage industry today, as in the past, are to extend shelf life, to increase the diversity of food by providing a variety of flavors, colors, aromas and textures to foods. Quality, providing nutrients necessary for health and generating income for the production company. There is now a growing consumer demand for foods that contain fewer synthetic additives or have undergone fewer processing changes. Why CO2 is used most often in SFE? Supercritical carbon dioxide is by far the most commonly used supercritical fluid. The unique solvent properties of supercritical carbon dioxide have made it a desirable compound for separating antioxidants, pigments, flavors, fragrances, fatty acids, and essential oils from plant and animal materials. In the supercritical state, carbon dioxide behaves as a lipophillic solvent and so, is able to extract most nonpolar solutes. Separation of the carbon dioxide from the extract is simple and nearly instantaneous. Unlike liquid solvents, the dissolving power of supercritical carbon dioxide can be easily adjusted by slight changes in the temperature and pressure, making it possible to extract particular compounds of interest. With the addition of small amounts of polar co-solvents, even polar materials can be extracted. Additional advantages of carbon dioxide are that it is inexpensive, available in high purity. The food industry is starting to use polat supercritical technology to obtain high purity natural compounds, healthy products of excellent quality with various industrial applications. #extraction #scf #cbdoil :#supercritical #essential #sfe #co2 #greentechnology #cosmetics #food #2024investment #Cannabis #Hemp #extraction #CBD #supercriticalfluidextraction #SupercriticalCO2ExtractionMachine https://lnkd.in/d6qTCDGR

Bacillus megaterium - biomass live cells and spores of Bacillus megaterium bacteria and their metabolic products (phytohormones, organic acids, antibiotics, enzymes, etc.). It is designed to improve the phosphorus and potassium nutrition of plants and stimulate the growth of the root system. The action of the preparation is based on the ability of microorganisms included in the preparation to transform hard-to-soluble phosphorus and potassium compounds into forms available to plants. Due to the release by microorganisms Bacillus megaterium complex of organic acids (citric acid, malic acid), inorganic phosphorus compounds are broken down, and the release of a complex of enzymes - phosphatases, provides the breakdown of organic phosphorus compounds, which are contained in significant amounts in the soil, which allows the elements of nutrition to be more accessible to plants. Additionally, auxin series phytohormones produced by microorganisms provide stimulation of root system development, which contributes to the increase of plant nutrition.

Scientists turned CO2 into proteins and vitamins through microbes The levels of protein in their yeast exceeded those of pork, beef, fish and lentils. 85g of the yeast provided 61% of the daily protein needs, whereas pork, beef, fish and lentils met 25%, 34%, 38% and 38% respectively. Also, Just 6 grams or 0.4 tablespoons were enough to provide the daily vitamin B9 requirement. The microbes were fed nothing more than Oxygen, Hydrogen, and CO2, all renewable and abundant. it is a fermentation process the likes of beer production, but instead of sugar, the microbes were fed gas and acetate. In the 1st step, a bacterium known as Thermoanaerobacter kivui converts CO2 and hydrogen into acetate. In the 2nd step, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly referred to as baker's yeast, is provided with this acetate and oxygen. The result of this process is an edible yeast that is high in protein and vitamin B9. This technological development aims to address pressing challenges in food security, public health, environmental conservation and adds to the circular economy #science #biotechnology #microbiology
