Frequently Asked Questions
What separation techniques are most relevant for sugars & polysaccharides?
Sugars & polysaccharides are most commonly separated using Nanofiltration, Crystallization. Selection depends on scale, purity targets, and downstream impurities.
Where do these molecules sit in industrial bioprocessing?
Carbohydrates from hydrolysis and fermentation (180 Da - 1 MDa). Purified using nanofiltration, ion exchange demineralization, activated carbon, and crystallization.
How does untangle.bio help design these processes?
Drag-and-drop unit operations onto a flowsheet, define your feed stream from the built-in database, and let the route generator propose ranked process trains based on yield, purity, and CAPEX.
