Falcon: Fuel And chemicals from Lignin through enzymatic and chemical CONversion.
FALCON aims to convert this lignin-rich industrial waste of 2G biofuel plants to higher value products, in particular shipping fuels, fuel additives and chemical building blocks. This would be the next consecutive step in turning waste to products, thus minimizing waste and simultaneously providing new alternatives for fossil resource based processes.

Foieture
  • (Inter)Cluster, 1G sugar, Cell culture, Cultured meat, Finished projects, Flanders Food / VLAIO-ICON, Foie gras, Food, Low TRL, Process development (TRL 4-5), Product recovery and purification, Regional-flanders, WP leader

The conventional meat production system is not sustainable and climate neutral. The increasing concerns regarding animal welfare have also pushed the meat market to look for different means of production for instance of vegan “meat”.

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.
