Advancing food and beverage
Bioprocessing techniques contribute to the food and beverage industry in various ways. They produce a range of ingredients like enzymes, flavors, and vitamins, enhancing product quality. Fermentation, a key process, creates items like yogurt and beer, enriching flavor and texture. Biotechnological methods also yield nutraceuticals, functional foods, and alternative protein sources, addressing health and sustainability concerns. Enzyme production improves processing efficiency and product quality across various applications.
Food and beverage industry challenges
Scale up
Transitioning from small-scale to large-scale bioproduction while maintaining consistency and efficiency presents challenges in terms of equipment scalability, process optimization, and resource management.
Regulatory compliance
Meeting strict regulatory requirements and navigating complex compliance standards poses a significant challenge for food and beverage production, requiring meticulous documentation and adherence to quality control protocols.
Contamination control
Ensuring the purity of bioproduction processes and minimizing the risk of microbial contamination is a critical challenge, as any deviations can compromise product quality and safety, leading to potential recalls and reputational damage.

See allAs the workhorses of life, proteins fulfil a variety of functions in our bodies. If their functionality is limited or missing, diseases can arise. Therefore, proteins and their production are a central key to research. Whether protein expression is to be controlled for experimental, biotechnological, or medical applications, the use of cells is often mandatory. Many researchers repeatedly face the same challenge of producing complex target protein fast and cheap. Transient transfection of recombinant plasmids (rpDNA) in mammalian cells is a popular method for this purpose. In the following article, we look at the success story of research assistant Damian von Blarer, who must produce specific regions of the famous SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for efficiency studies of a rapid test – for this he needs plasmids, and we show which questions you need to answer to produce and amplify them easily yourself.
