Kohansen promotes the commercialization of sebum red fermentation products

collaboration with the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences of the University of Copenhagen and the Department of Systems Biology of the Danish University of Science and Technology, Cohansen researchers have successfully used modern fermentation processes to produce sebum. There are a number of patents to protect the technology, the first of which was published today.is a long-standing natural red pigment, which is widely used in food and beverages. Its production methods depend on the carp that breeds parasitic parasites on cactus plants. A kilogram of sebum requires manual collection

100,000 carp, which significantly increases the cost of this natural pigment.researchers at Cohansen, the University of Copenhagen and the Danish University of Science and Technology have found the complex process of producing sebum red naturally. Using the insight and state of this artistic biotechnology, researchers have been able to produce carmine red through modern fermentation processes, and Cohansen is currently patenting the technology.":

potentially disruptive change in the production of sebum, said
Cees de Jong, chief executive of Cohanson. This new technology is expected to increase the cost-effectiveness of sebum products, further reducing barriers to conversion to natural pigments.
”It will take some time for fermented sebum to commercialize, as this process needs to be further optimized.
De Jong
said:
"
when the technology can be applied, Cohanson will be in a very good position to develop it." Fermentation technology is our core competitiveness, we are the market leader in natural pigments.
