Development of a polyphosphates-rich food attiditive of biological origin: towards a sustainable alternative to synthetic production

Development of a sustainable polyphosphate production process using yeast as a bioproduction platform. The project leverages genomics to explore genetic diversity in 135 strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aiming to identify key genes involved in polyphosphate synthesis, transport, and regulation. By harnessing the power of whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatics, the research focuses on predicting potential translated proteins and assessing their structural and chemical properties. This interdisciplinary approach aims to create an eco-friendly polyphosphate production method, addressing global sustainability challenges in various industries including agriculture, food, and water treatment. The findings from this study can pave the way for greener bioproduction processes and contribute to sustainable food additive production.
