Insomesegments,whitebiotechnologyhasalreadycapturedleadingmarket positions: In recent years the annual biotechnological production of amino acids exceeded one million tons. Invitaminproductiontherehavebeen several recent casesofachangeover from a chemical to a biotechnological synthesis process, a trend that is expected to increase.
