Danisco will build a facility for trimethyl­glycine, also known as betaine, at a beet sugar and ethanol refinery in Origny, France, operated by the French farm cooperative Tereos. To open late in 2012, the facility will use Danisco technology to extract betaine from an ethanol production sidestream. Betaine will be transported to Danisco’s Finnish facility for finishing. Danisco sells betaine as an animal feed additive and personal care ingredient.
