BUENOS AIRES (dpa-AFX) - International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF)
announced on Wednesday that it has received approval from the Argentine Ministry
of Economy for the commercialization of genetically modified Synerxia yeasts for
grains-based bioethanol production in Argentina.

The Synerxia yeasts have been designed to improve corn conversion into
bioethanol by up to three percent, thus increasing the efficiency of the
process.

The Synerxia yeasts are obtained through hybridization combined with genetic
improvement, which significantly reduces glycerol formation and enables maximum
ethanol conversion.

The company also stated that by using these advanced yeasts, industrial
performance losses due to high ambient temperatures during processing can be
avoided, resulting in significant productivity gains, cost reductions, and
improved yield and profit during production scale-ups.
