"So long as a person is capable of self renewal they are a living
being. " -Amiel Cereals have been the source of life to the human
race, providing nutritional and ma terial needs since the dawn of
civilization. As with all dynamic industries, the Cereal in dustry
has renewed itself in the past; as the millennium approaches, it is
on the brink of another renewal, in which the versatility and
providence of cereals are being rediscovered, but in new and
exciting ways. Cereals are richly diverse; over 10,000 varieties
convert minerals and the energy of the sun into a bursting catalog
of functional and versatile biomolecules and biopolymers.
Processing technology allows these components to be accessed,
separated, isolated and purified, while chemical science allows
modification for even greater diversity and speci ficity. The last
century has seen the move from cereal- to oil-based chemical and
materials industries. But cereals contain a greater variety and
functionality of macromolecules than oil. Starch, protein, bran and
straw, already diverse across cereal varieties, can be fraction
ated into more specific elements, modified chemically to enhance
function, or used as feedstocks in fermentation-based bioconversion
systems, to produce a range of bulk and fine chemicals for
industries as diverse as food, pharmaceuticals, plastics, textiles,
pulp and paper, transport, composites and boards, adhesives and
energy."
