Advances in Biochemical Engineering Management

Description

Opportunities brought about by molecular biology advancements are known to everybody. The components of living cells can be used to create a wide range of beneficial chemicals, including medicines and other goods. However, molecular biology requires the aid of biochemical engineering to achieve significant benefits as a commercial endeavor. Therefore, biochemical engineering is a crucial branch of biotechnology that focuses on the industrial-scale practical use of biological agents (such as entire cell systems and biocatalysts) and the accompanying approaches and processes. When it comes to biochemical processes, enzyme technology, environmental biotechnology, microbial manipulations, bioseparation technology, plant and animal cell cultures, and food technology, biochemical engineering is useful in a variety of biotechnology applications. It includes creating novel process technologies, bioreactor designs, and effective and financially viable extraction and purification techniques (downstream processing). The fundamentals of biotechnology and biochemical engineering are covered in Chapters 1 and 2. Enzyme kinetics, their evolution, and their use in biochemical engineering are discussed in Chapter 3. Immobilized enzymes and industrial applications of enzymes are covered in Chapters 4 and 5. Industrial microbiology is described in Chapter 6. The ideas of fermentation, cell products, and other changed molecules are covered in this chapter. In Chapter 7, we learn about several animals, plants, and microbial cell cultures. The fermentation process and how its control are explained in Chapter 8. Cell kinetics, fermenter design, and cell growth are covered in chapters 9 and 10. The design of the bioreactor is covered in Chapter 11. The downstream processing, centrifugation, sedimentation, and other techniques are illustrated in Chapter 12. Finally, Chapter 13 deals with Sterilization process.
