The BIOFLAVOUR conference series is a
perfect example of how synergies arise
if two complementary parts work closely
together: DECHEMA Society for Chemical
Engineering and Biotechnology and
DECHEMA Research Institute in Frankfurt,
Germany. The society is ‘the’ networking
platform for the chemical engineering and
biotechnology community, fostering the
dialogue between science and industry.
One of its core competencies is organizing
scientifc conferences – in Germany and
internationally. The research institute
mirrors this philosophy by running its own
laboratories in the same DECHEMA house
with interdisciplinary research teams. Here,
chemists, engineers and biotechnologists
strive for excellence in science and its
transfer to industrial application. More than
two decades ago, BIOFLAVOUR conference
chair, Prof. Jens Schrader, started to
establish the feld of aroma biotechnology
at the DECHEMA Research Institute.
Driven by the fascinating perspectives
of a fast expanding toolbox of modern
biotechnology, the scientists have been
investigating many microbes to unleash
their metabolic power for the synthesis of
natural products, especially favours and
fragrances. Among the achievements of
the institute in the feld are fermentation
processes for natural food favours and
fragrances, bioactives, and functional
cosmetic ingredients, besides others. As
‘bridging the gap between fundamental
research and industrial application’ is a key
mission of the institute, it is not surprising,
that some of the developments have been
transferred into industrial application in
the meantime. Consequently, the institute
has been a professional research partner
to the aroma industry for many years now,
not only in publicly funded collaborations
but also for bilateral contract research.
DECHEMA unites its unique scientifc
background in biotechnology and its
professional know-how in organizing
conferences. Biofavour 2018 will be an
internationally recognized meeting with
cutting-edge science, industrial and
academic alike, and lots of opportunities
for networking and socializing.
