Fermentation Processes Food Technology & Biotechnology Scale-up — everything from a single source
We develop and scale-up biotechnological Processes — from first fermentation
to market-ready production
Who we are:
Your Fermentation Plattform from Hamm (Westphalia)
Jäckering Research was founded in 2014 as an independent research facility dedicated to innovative fermentation processes utilizing wheat processing by-products. Today, we develop sustainable process solutions for the food and biotechnology sectors based on a wide range of raw materials.
By closely linking research with industrial application, we guide innovations from the initial scientific idea to market-ready technology. In this way, we create efficient, sustainable, and economically viable solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.
We act in accordance with our values:
- innovative

About us
Our interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, business experts, and technicians develops innovative, practical solutions to meet our customers' challenges. In doing so, we combine scientific expertise with an industrial, application-oriented approach, supporting projects from the initial idea through to successful implementation.
Our Areas of Focus:
- Development of innovative fermentation processes – particularly based on industrial side streams
- Food‑technology fermentation processes
- Chemical modification of starch and protein to open up new fields of application
-
Contract research and toll manufacturing for companies in the fields of fermentation,
downstream processing, and drying - Analytical, fermentation, and drying services
As a modern fermentation platform, we bring together research, development, and technical infrastructure under one roof. This enables us to efficiently develop and scale innovative processes and transform them into market-ready solutions.
We offer
Our facilities cover the entire biotechnological process – from the initial idea to product formulation:
State-of-the-art fermentation technology
State-of-the-art fermentation technology
State-of-the-art fermentation technology
State-of-the-art fermentation technology
Our state-of-the-art, fully automated fermentation platform enables the development and optimization of tailored biotechnological processes. We support projects throughout the entire scale-up journey—from substrate pretreatment of diverse raw materials to operations in shake flasks, laboratory fermenters (10 L), and pilot or technical-scale facilities with volumes of up to 1.5 m³ (aerobic) and 20 m³ (anaerobic). Sterile fermentations featuring customizable process control—spanning batch, fed-batch, and continuous modes—ensure flexible and practical process development.

Separation & Downstream Processing
Our technical infrastructure includes modern processes for downstream processing and product recovery. Decanter centrifuges, such as the Sedicanter® and Tricanter®, are used for solid-liquid separation. Dissolved substances are fractionated and concentrated via ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. Additionally, vacuum evaporators with capacities of up to 90 kg/h are available for recovering volatile components and efficiently concentrating process streams. This enables us to develop and optimize processes comprehensively, ranging from laboratory to pilot scale.

Our biological expertise is based on a continuously growing strain collection of selected yeasts, fungi, and bacteria, which we systematically build and expand to meet our customers' requirements. In addition, we carry out the task-specific selection and isolation of suitable microorganisms and optimize their properties using classical mutagenesis. This enables us to establish the foundation for high-performance, cost-effective fermentation processes.

Research & Development
The research work is particularly focused on the development, production, and refinement of wheat products, wheat starch, and by-products of wheat starch production. The work includes physicochemical, biochemical, and mechanical modification of raw materials. Equally, the focus is on further development of production units that serve the processing of wheat and its subsequent products.
