Application

  • EN3ZYME is used to produce 2G ethanol and as a sustainable carbon source for creating colors, dyes, flavors, fragrances and lipids through precision fermentation.

Description

Fermbox Bio introduces EN3ZYME, an innovative enzyme solution that converts agricultural waste like sugarcane bagasse, cotton stalks, corn stover into valuable sugars, enabling sustainable production of 2G ethanol and bio-based products, while promoting a circular economy.

Pathway Description:

The process used in Fermbox Bio's project begins with the pretreatment of agricultural residues like bagasse, cotton stalks, and corn stover to make the cellulose accessible. EN3ZYME, the cellulosic enzyme cocktail, is then applied to hydrolyze the pretreated residues into fermentable cellulosic sugars. These sugars serve as a carbon source for producing second-generation (2G) ethanol through fermentation. This process also supports precision fermentation to create bio-ingredients and biomaterials, fostering sustainability and resource efficiency.
