Novosides
  • 1G sugar, Biocatalysis, Enzymes, FP7, Fermentation, Finished projects, Food, Glycosides, Other feedstock, Process development (TRL 4-5), Product recovery & purification, Scale-up, Scale-up (TRL 4-6), Small organic molecules, Specialty carbohydrates, Sugar, WP leader

The goal of the Novosides project is the development of biocatalytic processes for the glycosylation of small organic molecules such as flavonoids, alkaloids and steroids. Glycosylation can drastically improve both the physicochemical and biological properties of these molecules (e.g. slow release, improved solubility and stability, taste modification, drug targeting), but few biocatalysts are currently available to perform this modification cost-efficiently at industrial scale.
