Certain liquids, such as wine, are sensitive to contact with oxygen and may be degraded by oxidation, so winemakers usually take steps to limit or entirely prevent oxygen from contacting the wine. For example, inert gases may be used to displace oxygen. In reductive winemaking processes, oxygen is
The CSIR has established a bioconversion platform that focuses on alternative pathways for chemical production. The platform is geared towards local production and replacing imports of bio-based platform chemicals, including lactic acid. This shift will have a direct impact on the bioeconomy. The
