Biochemical Engineering

1. Fundamentals of Biochemical
Engineering

2. • biotechnology is the application of science
and engineering to the use of living organisms
or substances derived from them, to generate
products or to perform functions that can
benefit the human condition.

3. WHAT IS BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING?
• Bioprocess engineering is the subdiscipline within
biotechnology that is responsible for translating
the discoveries of life science into practical
products, processes, or systems that can serve
the needs of society. The bioprocess engineer has
many missions. Although the most visible today is
the production of biopharmaceuticals, bioprocess
engineering also has a major role in the existing
multibillion-dollar fermentation industries
responsible for the production of ethanol, amino
acids and other organic acids, antibiotics, and
other specialty products.

4. • Importance& Scope:
• A bioprocess is specific process that uses complete living cells or their components
to obtain desired products. Transport of energy and mass is fundamental to many
biological and environmental processes. Areas, from food processing to thermal
design of building to biomedical devices to pollution control and global warming,
require knowledge of how energy and mass can be transported through materials.
When a product is manufacture in bulk amount, bioprocess engineering plays
important role. Production of synthetic amino acid, beverages, vaccines,
hormones, antibiotics all these are accomplish with bioprocess engineering.
• Most favored for optimal production
• Duplication of these conditions during scaled- up production
• Advances in genetic engineering
• In solving environmental, pharmaceutical, industrial and agricultural problems
• Safety, purity, potency, efficacy and consistency
• To delivered quality product to market
