#InnoSpark Bytes — विज्ञान Tech 2026 | In-House Innovation Spotlight Series Dr. Sonali Srivastava from BRIC-National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi introduces a sustainable platform technology that directly converts low-cost glucose into high-value delta-lactones. These essential chemical compounds provide vital buttery, creamy, and coconut flavor notes widely used in the food, beverage, and cosmetic industries. By engineering bacteria to achieve an impressive yield of 3.4 g/L nearly three times higher than existing bio-methods, this innovation offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to hazardous chemical synthesis, paving the way for a greener and more self-reliant #ViksitBharat. ​#GreenChemistry #BioTech #Innovation #DBTIndia #विज्ञानTech2026 #MakeInIndia Dr Jitendra Singh Rajesh Gokhale BRIC DBT Regional Centre for Biotechnology National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI) BRIC-National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB) Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (BRIC-inStem) | Institute of Life Sciences |Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) |BRIC-National Institute of Plant Genome Research|National Brain Research Centre, Gurgaon |BRIC-NCCS Pune|BRIC - Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) |Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) |
