Flavor manufacturing biotechnological production

Many methods are known for its manufacture, e.g., dehydrogenation of 2,3-butane -diol with a copper chromite catalyst [22]. Biotechnological production on an industrial scale is referred [23]. It is used mainly in aromas for butter and roast notes. Large quantities are used for flavoring margarine small amounts are used in perfumes. 

Most people are not aware of how deeply biotechnology products manufactured by large-scale fermentation, both recombinant and nonrecombinant, have affected our daily lives. The general public may be aware of the classical antibiotics or of large recombinant therapeutic proteins such as antibodies produced by industrial-scale fermentation. However, the role of fermentation for small-molecule pharmaceuticals, steroids, or cytotoxics is generally not known, let alone the role of fermentation for products used in flavors and fragrances, household appliances, chemical manufacturing, and many other markets. 

Potential consumer benefits from biotechnology (56) are cost and quaUty. The use of biotech means to increase the level of various sulfur-containing amino acids in coffee proteins, and to enhance sucrose and oil levels, could have an impact on the flavor and aroma of the finished ground coffee product. Also, caffeine level modification/elimination through genetic manipulations of the coffee plant could yield low caffeine coffee without additional processing by the manufacturer.
