| + | |
| + | <p>Our team's basic implementation is to make a multifunctional yeast that combines pectinase and yeast. |
| + | We can cut the cost by using multifunctional yeast by only purchasing for multifunctional yeast |
| + | instead of both saccharomyces cerevisiae and pectinase.</p> |
| + | <p>Through online research, we found that wastewater containing pectin could block pipes and be degraded |
| + | before discharging. This requires chateau to add pectinase to wastewater and could be costly.</p> |
| + | <p>We carried out our questionnaire initially to investigate the fruit wine market. The questions aim at |
| + | the frequency of drinking, types of alcohol interviewees prefer their views on the health benefits |
| + | of fruit wine. Through cross analyzing more than one thousand collected questionnaires, we |
| + | discovered that fruit wine has a group of loyal customers that drink it more than three times a |
| + | week. These loyal customers viewed fruit wine as a drink that is beneficial for their health. We |
| + | hope our product can improve the quality and reduce the price of fruit wine, finally benefiting both |
| + | chateau and fruit wine lovers.</p> |
| + | <p>We have also contacted gene-editing experts and chateau owners as possible stakeholders. Gene-editing |
| + | expert Yibei Xiao informed us of the advantages of the CRISPR technique and encouraged us to explore |
| + | more of CRISPR. In conclusion, previous researches inspired us two new research directions:</p> |
| + | <br> |
| + | <ol> |
| + | <li><p style="text-indent: unset !important;">Extend the experiment to combine lysozyme with yeast to shorten the brewing time and extend |
| + | the expiration date after unsealing.</p></li> |
| + | <li><p style="text-indent: unset !important;">Use multifunctional yeast to decompose pectin to dispose of wastewater.</p></li> |
| + | </ol> |
| + | <br> |
| + | <p>However, the marketing of our products has many problems too.</p> |
| + | <p>First, customers always hold misunderstandings about gene-editing. During our research, we discovered |
| + | that many people regard gene-editing techniques as GMO(genetically modified organisms). However, |
| + | there is a much more difference between these notions. Even when we try to tell the interviewee that |
| + | it is different when we talk about utilizing gene-editing techniques as a tool or as GMO, they still |
| + | show their resistance to our project.</p> |
| + | <p>Most people are afraid of being transgenic. They think it is a new thing. It is harmful to people's |
| + | health.</p> |
| + | <p>For instance, Amy's father is afraid of GMO. He always posts negative comments on the breakthrough of |
| + | GMO and tells the family not to buy any gene-modified related products. Nevertheless, they are |
| + | buying gene-modified soybeans every day. He theoretically rejects every outcome, but he did not know |
| + | that 99% of the soybeans in the market are genetically modified. Unfortunately, our customers seldom |
| + | get into the truth. They think gene-editing technology is still far from us. They haven't realized |
| + | that gene-editing technology has already made its entrance into the daily life of human beings. Our |
| + | project is devoted to using the technology of "gene editing" in the process rather than GMO. |
| + | Citizens, however, are confused about these two concepts. Thus, they are likely to regard all |
| + | related gene products as GMO. People's confusion and unfamiliarity will build an unfathomable gulf |
| + | at the root of accepting our project and the gene-editing techniques we applied.</p> |
| + | <p>Second, our project is facing hidden commercial dangers as a result of the use of gene-related |
| + | products. Designs from our project will be delivered to companies that produce gene-modified |
| + | products. Due to the resistance of gene-modified products, citizens will hold negative perspectives |
| + | toward any other products of the companies published.</p> |
| + | <p>There is a high probability that our product will also end up being produced by a biotech company. |
| + | And once that biotech company had made a GMO product, our product would also be considered a GMO |
| + | product and not a helpful tool.</p> |
| + | <p>To know chateau's opinion on our product, we contacted a red wine franchisee and a chateau owner in |
| + | Austria.</p> |
| + | <p>In the email, we asked franchisee Peter, and chateau owner Helmut Unfried some basic questions about |
| + | alcoholic beverage making, yeast, and pectin, and then he gave us useful answers.</p> |
| + | <p>We are concerned about whether the degradation of pectin in wastewater is difficult and expensive and |
| + | whether reducing pectin in wine is essential. In addition, we asked about some advances in |
| + | winemaking and some commercial aspects of alcoholic beverages.</p> |
| + | <p>Unfried says there are more than 500 types globally, and each winemaker has a particular kind of |
| + | yeast to make a specific type of wine. Therefore, yeast plays a crucial role in winemaking, and |
| + | pectin only plays a vital role in sugar conversion, so its importance is minimal.</p> |
| + | <p>According to his reply, the annual demand for brewer's yeast depends on different geographical areas |
| + | and different ages. For instance, China buys wine from 1–10,000 euros per bottle, and the investment |
| + | also depends on whether it is table or quality. Moreover, wine is not only red and white, not only |
| + | nutritious but also a culture, a drink that has accompanied humans for 50,000 years. And is a highly |
| + | complex product from production, quality to distribution.</p> |
