A modern trend to carbon dioxide neutral production processes is based on renewable raw materials derived from sugar. Herein, an overview on modern approaches to fine chemicals for the nutritional industry is presented. In comparison to the traditional fossil-fuel-based processes the development of sustainable alternative transformations is necessary to enable the full potential of the new sustainable feedstocks.
