Enzymatic, biochemical, or microbiological methods based on selective transformation of one of the isomers into the desired product, or, removal of one of the enantiomers from the mixture. Such methods are currently used in biotechnological processes leading to the procurement of various compounds, including optically active ones [43]. 

In view of the above it is very difficult to predict the future however, here is an attempt. It is reasonable to suppose that the development of biotechnology will lead to still more enzymes being used in baked products. This could lead to a rapid biochemical system that would replace the Chorleywood bread process with a rapid enzyme-based dough development system. 

This lack of access to understandable information combined with the lack of ability to process complex biotechnology information leads many... 

The amino acid L-tryptophan (19), used as a food supplement and in insomnia, is manufactured in Japan by a novel biotechnological process that leads to the contaminant bisindole 50 (peak E) 126), for which earlier an aminal structure was proposed 127). An outbreak of an eosinophilia... 

Table 2.10 shows that the isolation and purification of naturally occurring flavour chemicals and extracts from animal and plant raw materials is most important for the preparation of natural flavours. About 75% of the commercially used flavours come from such natural sources. Physico-chemical reactions of typical flavour precursors may also lead to natural flavouring substances when mild conditions ( kitchen technology ) are applied. In addition, natural flavour chemicals may be prepared by biotechnological processes. This chapter outlines the most important biotechnical manufacturing techniques. 

The stability of biotechnology-produced products, proteins (macromolecules), and peptides is unique when compared with conventional pharmaceuticals (small molecules). Protein degradation by both chemical and physical processes leads to the loss of biological activity, whereas peptides decompose only through chemical instability with loss of efficacy and produce undesirable biological effects. 

A quick look at the most promising biofuels leads to the conclusion that ethanol and butanol are those where the use of biotechnology could play an important role. The same cannot be said for hydrogen and biodiesel, since these caimot be obtained directly by biotechnological processes, nor for 2,5-dimethylfuran, since chemistry is vital for the development of its derivatives.

For autocatalytic and biotechnological processes (Fig. 6.31b and c), a basically similar method can lead to the same goal the solution, however, can only be obtained using mathematical formulas (cf. Equs. 6.92 and 6.94).
