White biotechnology in the commercial manufacturing

For those who are unfamiliar, white biotechnology has enabled the commercial manufacturing of several products such as curd, cheese, and beverages by using natural metabolic pathways and various microorganisms. Earlier, these bio-based products were not commonly used in industries.

 They were used in niche industries such as biofuel production. However, today, several industries such as pharmaceutical and F&B use bio-based products to produce APIs and enzymes to enhance the texture and aroma of food.
