Vogelbusch Biocommodities

The company specialises in white biotechnology and has proprietary processes for fermentation products such as alcohol, yeast, vinegar, and for ingredients such as glucose, dextrose, high fructose syrup and citric acid.
Headquartered in Vienna, Austria and with subsidiaries in the US and Hong Kong, Vogelbusch is a global technology and service provider for industrial biotechnology.

Natural raw materials

A key success factor of Vogelbusch is its knowledge and field experience of input materials and the ability to analyse them precisely for bioprocess needs. We have extensive experience with the differing requirements for a wide range of starch and sugar containing substrates.
Our processes use crop products, including:

• Sugar beet, sugar cane, sweet sorghum
• Grain crops such as corn, wheat, barley, triticale or sorghum (milo)
• Tubers such as cassava, sweet potatoes or potatoes

Further sources are intermediate or by-products of the grain and sugar processing industries, for instance:

• Starch milk, hydrolysates, molasses, thick juice or syrups.

Starting out with these resources, Vogelbusch technologies can yield many different sustainable processes and competitive products and ingredients for food and beverage manufacturers.

Vogelbusch has unique expertise in the implementation of biotechnological processes and has its own range of technologies for biocommodities.

Engineering and system integration services are also carried out for grain processing complexes and third-party fermentation processes.

We are well acquainted with the differing requirements of designing bioreactors and have specific aeration systems adapted for a multitude of applications.

Our portfolio of separation technologies includes distillation, evaporation, ion exchange, chromatography, filtration, crystallisation, and extraction.

Our R&D activities are based at our in-house laboratory and pilot scale facilities, but are often carried out in co-operation with universities.

We have many years of experience with microbial production techniques. In our pilot plants we test raw materials and validate the design parameter.
