Abstract

Analysis of the stereospecificity of enzymes involved in the synthesis of (+)-catechins and (-)-epicatechins. Outputs are a better understanding of the biosynthesis of important chemicals for the flavour, palatability and nutritive value of foods, forage and beverages. Strategic programmes - Raw material quality. Technology foresight panel recommendation - Biotechnology in Agriculture.
