Discovering new enzymes in nature We have come a long way in cleaning clothes, dishes, and homes with enzymes, but some issues remain unsolved. That's why our colleagues continue to explore nature, discovering new enzymes that may enable us to provide biosolutions for people all over the world. In this video, watch how our mycologist colleague Mikako Sasa collects samples from nature in her search for microorganisms that produce enzymes with the relevant properties. "For over 30 years, I have been collecting microorganisms in nature. If my aim is to find enzymes for home care products, I would go to alkaline environments where pH is higher than normal. After testing in the lab, I will hand over the microorganisms to our team of molecular biologists for the next steps," she says.? When we leverage the power of microbes and enzymes with science, we create biosolutions that transform the way we all produce, consume and live for a sustainable future. #biosolutions #enzymes #microorganisms #novonesis

What plants can teach us In this article from our biosolutions bulletin, we dive into what we can learn from plants and apply to how we produce food. Humans, plants, and animals share a genetic kinship through the fundamental building blocks of life. This interconnectedness provides a foundation for inspiring sustainable biology-based solutions in industrial manufacturing by drawing upon the biological processes and adaptability found in nature. The article explores how understanding and harnessing the genetic similarities and evolutionary relationships between these organisms can help us develop innovative, sustainable approaches to manufacturing that align with the resilience and efficiency seen in natural systems.

Team Novonesis, go go go!??? On a beautiful summer evening, more than 1,500 of our colleagues showed up for the annual DHL relay race in Copenhagen, Denmark. And for the first time, the Novonesis logo and colors were on display among thousands of runners at this event. In teams of five people, our colleagues each did a 5 kilometer run or walk before passing the baton to a teammate and cheering on the rest of the group.? Afterwards, we all gathered for a barbecue buffet and refreshing drinks, much needed on a warm and sunny day!? High five to everyone, and thank you all for a beautiful day in great company! ? #novonesis #newbeginnings #biosolutions #teamspirit

Biosolutions empower high-protein dairy - sustainably? In recent years, high-protein yogurt has seen substantial growth. Research shows that 78% of global consumers consider ‘high in protein’ to be important in a nutritious diet. The dairy industry plays a pivotal role in supplying nourishing products to billions of people. It is actively addressing the challenges of CO2 emissions, transforming dairy farming and production practices. At Novonesis, we take pride in supporting this goal by developing sustainable biology-based solutions that ensure we minimize food waste and thus reduce the CO2 footprint. This offers a path towards a more eco-friendly future for the dairy sector as well as a healthier planet. Creating high-protein yogurt with the right taste and texture is a technological challenge, and the food industry relies on innovative partners for product development. Novonesis has addressed this by leveraging advanced research and biotechnological advancements to create specific cultures and enzymes that deliver superior taste, texture, yield, consistency and improve the nutritional profile of high-protein yogurt. Learn more about how our biosolutions help solve industry challenges for high-protein dairy in our short case study below. #biosolutions #dairy #protein #novonesis
