VANILLIN PRODUCTION FROM VANILLA PLANIFOLIA EXPLANTS CULTIVATED IN A TWO-PHASE SYSTEM.

摘要

The present invention discloses a biotechnological process for the production of vanillin and other vanilla aromatic notes via tissue culture. Multiple shoots are grown in a two-phase system, where the first phase consists of the production of large amounts of biomass and the second phase consists of the supplementation of elicitors and / or precursors to induce higher production of vanillin and other vanilla flavors. . Extraction of metabolites is performed from explants grown in vitro. The great advantage of this process is that vanillin is produced together with other notes of vanilla aroma and the yield is higher than that obtained in the field-grown vanilla planifolia pods, and the process occurs under controlled environmental conditions and at any time of the year. year.
