Advantages of Microbial Biosynthesis to Produce β-Caryophyllene

Due to the low content of natural products of β-caryophyllene, the extraction and purification cost of β-caryophyllene is high, so the production methods of β-caryophyllene are limited. On the other hand, the chemical synthesis and production of β-caryophyllene have a common feature of the chemical industry, so there is environmental pollution in the production process. Hesheng Technology produces β-caryophyllene through microbial biosynthesis, which makes the production scale more controllable, the production method more efficient and pollution-free, and fully adapts to the needs of today's market for a green, safe, cost-effective, and efficient production mode.
