Bio-based ester oils for hydraulic applications and natural UV filters derived from algae: In two current projects, we demonstrate how biotechnology can be used to precisely control industrial processes – efficiently, sustainably, and in a circular manner.

We are pleased to announce that Angela Störmer has been appointed as a member of the Commission for Consumer Products of the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). She will strengthen the work of this committee with her many years of experience in the field of the migration of substances into food and other filling materials, as well as conformity assessment.

Extracts from macroalgae containing phlorotannins have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

In our new research project “PEARL,” we are using these extracts to develop innovative methods for keeping food fresh longer in a natural way. Both effectiveness and practicality for industrial use play an important role in this project.
