Optimization of fermentation process to economize scale-up productions of leaf aldehyde
FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01
Summary
Through a series of bench-scale fermenter experiments with a new designer strain, the proposed fermentation optimization for leaf-aldehyde production based on our validated process will focus on reducing production cost. The support from NRC-IRAP for this project will help us lower the technical risk for large-scale (1,000 - 10,000L) process, unlock next milestone payment from a strategic investment from an industry partner, establish clear pathway to product commercialization, and boost Canadian bio-economy by developing HQPs and research partnership within Ardra and Verschuren Centre in Nova Scotia.

Description

The support from NRC-IRAP for this project will help us lower the technical risk for large-scale (1,000 - 10,000L) process, unlock next milestone payment from a strategic investment from an industry partner, establish clear pathway to product commercialization, and boost Canadian bio-economy by developing HQPs and research partnership within Ardra and Verschuren Centre in Nova Scotia.
Description (French)
Grâce à une série d'expériences en fermenteur à l'échelle du banc d'essai avec une nouvelle souche de conception, l'optimisation de la fermentation proposée pour la production d'aldéhyde foliaire basée sur notre procédé validé sera axée sur la réduction des coûts de production. Le soutien du PARI CNRC pour ce projet nous aidera à réduire le risque technique pour le procédé à grande échelle (de 1 000 à 10 000 litres), à débloquer le prochain paiement d'étape provenant d'un investissement stratégique d'un partenaire industriel, à établir une voie précise vers la commercialisation du produit, et à stimuler la bioéconomie canadienne en perfectionnant des PHQ et un partenariat de recherche au sein d'Ardra et du Verschuren Centre en Nouvelle-Écosse.
Expected Results
The purpose of IRAP’s Youth Employment Program is to assist in increasing the supply of highly qualified people, promoting the benefits of advanced studies, demonstrating federal leadership by investing in the skills required to meet the needs of the knowledge economy and facilitating the transition of highly skilled young people to a rapidly changing labour market.
