THE USE OF BIOTRANSFORMATIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FLAVORS AND FRAGRANCES

Biotransformations are increasingly being used in the manufacture of speciality chemicals, especially flavours and fragrances. Advances in this technology have led to the development of an increasing number of scientifically novel and commercially successful processes for the manufacture of molecules of high biological activity. These processes often use novel enzyme systems and have required multidisciplinary research in their development.
