The formation of carbon dioxide and starch is a joke.

Introduction: Starch is a very common substance, because many plants in nature contain starch. Rice, wheat, even potatoes and sweet potatoes all contain starch, but Chinese scientists have realized the artificial synthesis of starch for the first time. What kind of breakthrough is this?

First, starch is synthesized from carbon dioxide. In fact, many people know that starch is a typical carbohydrate. The main nutrients in carbohydrates are carbon and oxygen, and carbon dioxide also mainly contains carbon and oxygen. Therefore, the elements between carbon dioxide and starch are common. It is actually feasible to synthesize starch with carbon dioxide in theory, but it is difficult to operate in reality. Chinese scientists have realized the de novo synthesis of starch from carbon dioxide for the first time in the world, which means that the artificial synthesis of starch has made a breakthrough.

Second, the safety of synthetic starch The artificial starch synthesized by Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biology in China is said to have no mass production, but its starch synthesis speed is very fast. Take corn as an example, the synthetic starch rate is 8.5 times that of corn, which means it is much higher than many plants. Moreover, this starch synthesis is actually edible. It only needs to change the chain of this starch in the later stage, then it will become a very delicious starch food.

Third, mass production still has a long way to go. Although it can be said that the synthetic starch can range from 0 to 1 this time, it will take a long time for this technology to break through and be widely used. Moreover, this kind of industrial production needs to solve the problems of equipment efficiency, so it will take a long time to mass-produce at present. However, a long time does not mean that we can't believe that in the near future, people's demand for carbon water can be met even without farming.
