2004 PHARMING HOTLIST. “The first non-food products of plant bioengineering likely to be commercialised on a large-scale are tailor-made industrial oils and speciality polymers. Calgene is involved in the commercial production of lauric acid…used to make soaps and detergents, using a genetically-engineered rapeseed plant.
