  • Novel food materials can be produced based on biotechnology such as genetic recombination, microbial fermentation, and enzymatic engineering by utilizing living organisms such as animal, plant, and microorganism or by applying the enzymes isolated from them. Especially, exploration and development of novel prebiotics and probiotics attracted great attention worldwide in the food industry, of which the research and industrial trends in food biotechnology field are promoting the production of next generation sweeteners and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in gastrointestinal tract. Development and commercialization of novel food materials by domestic bioprocessing technology have been sluggish due to the GMO/LMO food safety issues. Meanwhile, the US and EU do not perceive badly about gene manipulation technology, and the research is most active in the fields of crops and GMMs, respectively. Genetic scissors, which are considered as next generation technology, are notable since foreign genes do not remain in final products.

  • This review aims to show that industrial sustainable chemistry, minimizing or reducing the ecological impacts by the chemicals, is not an emerging trend, but is already a reality through the application of 'White Biotechnology' such as 'green' chemistry and engineering expertise. A large number of current industrial case studies are presented, as well as new developments from the chemical industry. The case studies cover new chemistry, new process design and new equipment. By articulating the requirements for industrial application of sustainable chemistry, this review also seeks to bridge any existing gap between academia and industry regarding the R & D and engineering challenges needed to ensure green chemistry research enables a more sustainable future chemical industry considering eco-toxicological impacts.

  • Elicitor treatment was performed to increase the anti-inflammatory activity of useful biological sources. The result showed that elicitor-treated Saururus chinensis leaf extracts positively affected nitric oxide (NO) production, and the expression of inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 compared to extracts not exposed to elicitor treatment. This finding identified elicitor treatment as a suitable strategy for increasing the biological activity of S. chinensis. Therefore, elicitor-treated S. chinensis is useful both as health functional and medicinal materials.
