Exploring the potential of synthetic biology

In this virtual event, Ben will discuss how Sun Bear Biofuture is harnessing molecular biology and precision fermentation to produce alternative ingredients – starting with palm oil.

Palm oil is in 50% of packaged supermarket products. It has a unique fat profile and higher yield than other vegetable products. But the use of palm oil comes at a price.

Sun Bear Biofuture uses an approach to ensure the preservation of the natural benefits of palm oil, while helping to minimise its environmental impact. Ben discusses how they developed a deforestation-free, drop-in palm oil substitute which uses waste materials as a feed stock.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it, everyone who registers for the event will receive a link to the replay following the event, so that you can watch in your own time.

We look forward to welcoming you.
