BASF AND CSM EXPLORE BIO-BASED SUCCINIC ACID JV

摘要

BASF plans to form a joint venture with Purac, a Dutch firm that supplies natural chemicals for foods, to develop bio-based succinic acid. The companies have been conducting research together since 2009 using Purac's knowledge of fermentation and BASF's knowledge of downstream processing. Their collaboration has resulted in an efficient manufacturing process based on a proprietary microorganism.
