How Does Plant Cell Fermentation (PCF®) technology Work?
Plant Cell Fermentation (PCF®) technology promotes the natural processes of plant growth and biosynthetic pathway expression in a controlled and fully defined fermentation environment. Plant Cell Fermentation technology has many advantages over traditional methods of producing phytochemicals. Below is an insight into our process:
- Plant Sourcing – We begin by sourcing the best starting material, without destroying nature. The starting material comes from a cryopreserved cell bank and we are proud to use non-GMO viable plant cell suspensions.
- Cell Line Development – Once we have sourced the start material, we use the best natural cell factories from the plants and capture plant diversity in cell lines.
- Cell Culture Development – Moving on to cell culture development, we ensure that we provide the best culture conditions to allow the highest production performance of cells
- Cell Bank – Cryopreservation secures cell line diversity and just one viable cell is enough as starting material to create tonnes of product.
- Upstream Fermentation – This stage eliminates supply constraints, allowing for commercial scale. Upstream fermentation is fully controlled, and it is scalable up to 75,000L bioreactors.
- Product Recovery and Fermentation – We finish the process with product recovery and fermentation. This can be anything from enriched extracts to purified APIs, depending on specific customer requirements.
The Results? The required active ingredient is successfully produced with Phyton Biotech’s Plant Cell Fermentation (PCF®) Technology!
Why Use Plant Cell Fermentation (PCF®) to Produce Phytochemicals?
