Modeling the Production of Thickening Polysaccharides via Carob Cell Culture Using Genomic Information
代表機関名 Miyagi University
採択年度 2023
フェーズ Phase 1
Galactomannan, a thickening polysaccharide derived from the endosperm of carob (locust bean), is widely used as a food texture modifier; however, ensuring its sustainable supply remains difficult.
To address this challenge, we will leverage genomic information and plant cell culture technologies to establish high-producing galactomannan cell lines through genome editing and/or genetic engineering, and build a technology model that enables stable, high-yield production of galactomannan.
