A radically new value chain for the utilisation of surplus sucrose from sugar beet biomass in the EU will be developed.
The new value chain roots in a novel integrated

biocatalytic production technology.
Overview
CARBAFIN IS
a collaborative research project, which started in January 2018 and will last until December 2021. It is co-financed by the European Union with a funding of 5.3 million Euros. The EU-consortium consists of eight members coming from five different countries.
CARBAFIN WILL establish
a phosphorylase based platform for sustainable production of functional glucosides from sucrose.
CARBAFIN AIMS
a new value chain for utilization of surplus sugar beet biomass in the EU by converting glucose and fructose separately into value-added products at industrial scale.
CARBAFIN FINDS and develops
new applications for glycosylated products in the food and feed-, cosmetics-, detergents- and polymer sector and for fructose as precursor of the platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
