Title:

Optimization of fermentation process to economize scale-up productions of leaf aldehyde

Agreement Number:

981461

Agreement Value:

$50,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 1, 2021 - Jun 30, 2022

Description:

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.

Organization:

National Research Council Canada

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.
