8 NEW CEREALS BASED BIREFINERY The Concept Definitions Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Processing starch and using chemical, biological and physical means to refined value added end-products for use in food and non-food applications. PRCESSES : White Biotech Plant Based Chemistry New chemical products for specialties and biopolymers markets New industrial biotechnological processes for chemical intermediates and active ingredients
