Application of Plant Cells in White Biotechnology: Transfer of innovative methods for the application of plant cells in food, wood, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries by an interdisciplinary group of junior scientists

The three-year project will be realized in close interdisciplinary collaboration with the Institutes of Food Technology and Bioprocess Engineering, Wood and Paper Technology, and Botany of the TU Dresden. The chair of Environmental Management and Accounting is also involved, researching hurdles for the industrial application of the technique and works on their ecological and economic assessment.

HURDLE ANALYSIS

Although white biotechnology application with plant cells has considerable advantages, the industrial application is still underachieved. The project's objective is to identify the hurdles and to present possible solutions.

ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL ASSESSMENT

The technique's profitability and environmental effect will be researched on one exemplary technique of white biotechnology. For this reason, the production process will be modelled and analysed with classic tools of business studies and environmental performance concepts with the objective of identifying significant variables for ecological and economical improvements.

A further objective is to create a competent, highly motivated group of young scientists and create usable know-how in Saxony.
