Biotechnology – A Tool to Transform Givaudan’s Fragrance Ingredients Palette
Get PDFTo support perfumers in their creation of olfactive signatures resulting in unique and instantly recognizable perfumes, there is a constant demand for the development of new odorant molecules and of novel processes for their production. Increasing the sustainability of both the molecules and the processes is a crucial activity at Givaudan. Biocatalysis has the potential to positively influence metrics applied at Givaudan that drive and measure our ambition to innovate responsibly, which is summarized in the FiveCarbon Path™. It targets an increased use of renewable carbon, carbon efficiency in synthesis, and the production of powerful and biodegradable odorant molecules while maximizing the use of upcycled carbon available from waste and side streams. This review illustrates with some examples how enzymes selected from the oxidoreductase and isomerase enzyme classes are applied at Givaudan for the preparation of odorant molecules both at laboratory and industrial scale

Substances with a Single Visible Absorption Band Cannot Be Green
Get PDFSome chemistry textbooks use an inappropriate colour model when discussing the colour of a substance that absorbs light at a specific wavelength. More specifically, these textbooks state that substances that absorb only in the violet end of the visible spectrum are green-yellow and substances that absorb only in the red end are blue-green. This paper presents a more accurate approach
Significance of Plastic Recycling with the Focus on Polyesters – Creating a Circular Economy
Get PDFPlastics materials are essential in every part of our lives, resulting in their increasing production and consumption. Consequently, recycling of plastics has been of great importance in the last decades. Among all types of plastics, polyesters have become very appealing for numerous kinds of applications, making their recycling crucial. Several techniques have been developed for the recycling of plastics with the aim of eliminating the waste accumulated, as well as to create a circular economy
Mycotoxin Recovery and Matrix Effect in Fava Bean Starch and Protein Isolate Measured by LC-MS/MS: FH-HES Universities of Applied Sciences
No full textMycotoxins are dangerous fungal food contaminants. Customized sample preparation techniques are essential for LC-MS/MS analysis of mycotoxins in unique protein-rich food matrices to enhance recovery and reduce matrix effects

Get PDFWe recently reported a copper-azophloxine complex for the naked-eye detection of pyrophosphate (E450) in water as solvent (Fig. 1). Here, both for a maturarbeit and the continuation of our study with a high school student, we investigate a new quick screening strategy of analytes as well as the discrimination abilities of our reported copper complex
