Bioprocess engineering involves utilizing living cells or their components to generate valuable products across various industries including pharmaceuticals, food, and environmental management. The field combines elements of mathematics, biology, and engineering and has evolved significantly, particularly with advancements in recombinant DNA technology. Current applications encompass biopharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, food production, agricultural innovations, and environmental solutions.

3. INTRODUCTION:
• DEFINITION: BIOPROCESS is a specific process that uses complete living
cells , or their components [e.g. bacteria , enzymes , chloroplasts ] to obtain
desired products .
• BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING is the alteration or significance of renewable
thing to create value-added products.
• IT IS SPECILIZATION OF :
i. BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
ii. BIOECHNOLOGY
iii. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
iv. AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

4. • It is deals with the shape or style and development of equipment and
processes for the creation of products such as ;
i. Pharmaceuticals
ii. Nutraceuticals
iii. Food
iv. Feed
v. Chemical
vi. Paper
vii. And many polymer from biological materials.

5. OVERVIEW OF BIOPROCESS
ENGINEERING :
• When our early ancestor made alcoholic liquid beverages ,they used
a bioprocess method the combination of live yeast cells and nutrient
(like cereal grains) create a fermentation system.
• In fermentation system organisms used the nutrients for their own
growth and produced several by-products ( as alcohol and
carbondioxide gas ) that helped to produce the liquid beverages .
• It also deals with studying different biotechnological processes for
large scale manufacturing of biological product and increasing
the quality of end products .

6. • Bioprocess engineering is a combination of mathematics , biology , and
industrial design and made up of different branches like designing or shape
of bioreactors ,learn of fermenters .
• Bioprocess engineering may include the work of mechanical , electrical and
industrial engineers to apply principles to processes based on using living
organisms cells or sub-component of such type of cells .
• It deals with studying different biotechnological processes for large scale
manufacturing of biological products and increasing the quality of end
products.
• Biopocess engineers to ‘BRING ENGINEERING TO LIFE’ through the
conversion of biological material into other forms needed by mankind .

7. HISTORY :
• In the first half of the 20th century , the first biggest scale fermentation
processes , namely penicillin and citric acid ,were realised .
• The process of recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering then
lead to a substantial increase in the number of bioprocesses.
• Text example is insulin ,the first product produced with recombinant DNA
technology.
• The bioprocessing has highly visible significance in the area of human
health care , wit product such as human insulin , interferons , erythropoitein
and monoclonal antibody , Hepatitis B vaccine are bioprocess products.
• Thus the field of bioprocessing has become a very significant part of
biotechnology .

8. CURRENT BIOPROCESS
TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCCTS:
• BIOPHARMACEUTICALS: mainly includes therapeutic proteins ,
antibiotics , antibodies , polysachharides , hormones , vaccines and
diagnostic agents.
• INDUSTRIAL , CHEMICAL AND ENERGY: mainly includes alcohols ,
organic acids , fuels , and other chemicals.
• FOOD INDUSTRIES : mainly includes alcoholic beverages and dairy
products several novel foods (starch , amino acids and vitamin ) and
food additives.
• AGRICULTURAL : mainly includes veterinary vaccine and antibiotics
use of NITROGEN fixing bacteria , production of transgenic pants and
genetic modification of foods .

9. • ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT : mainly includes municipal
wastewater treatment plants to provide clean and safe drinking water ,
• -Recent attention to environment –on the transformation of xenebiotics
to biodegradable forms.
