Innovative approaches to controlled yogurt fermentation using
PCM''s capacity to store and release thermal energy ensures fermentation stability, even without solar radiation. This innovative approach offers a compelling environmentally
Driven by standard 1 sun solar light, this coupled system offers a concentration of 21 mM for produced formaldehyde after 24 h of reaction (Fig. 3c, Supplementary Fig. 28), providing a sufficient and sustainable feed for downstream enzyme cascade module toward sugar production.
Through screening out highly efficient enzymes via genetic mutation and bioinformatics, our designed system enables the conversion of CO 2 to sugar with a solar-to-food energy conversion efficiency of 3.5%, outperforming natural photosynthesis by over three-fold.
This work opens a promising avenue for artificial food synthesis from CO2 under confined environments. Solar-driven artificial food synthesis from CO2 provides an approach to overcome the limitations of natural photosynthesis, but it is very challenging.
Under 1 sun light intensity, a high yield of 105.0 mg/L/h of L-sorbose was obtained from the second cycle (Fig. 5c and d), achieving an exciting solar-to-food energy conversion efficiency of 3.5% that outperforms natural photosynthesis by over three-fold (see Supplementary Information for detailed calculation).
