BIOPROCESS & TYPES OF BIOPROCESS TECHNOLOGY

BIOPROCESS

The bioprocess is the industrial  application of biological pathways or reaction mediated by living whole cells of animals,plants and microorganisms or  enzymes under controlled conditions for the biotransformation of raw material into products.

The bioprocess technology involves mainly three parts-

-Upstream Process

-Bioreaction & Bioreactors

-Downstream Processing

UPSTREAM PROCESS-

The Upstream Stage of the production process involves searching for and extracting material.This part of process simply finds and extracts the raw material.


DOWNSTREAM PROCESS-

The Down Stream Stage in the production process involves processing the material collected during the Upstream Stage into a Finish Products.


BIO REACTOR-

An apparatus a large fermentation chamber, for growing organisms like bacteria or yeast that are used in biotechnological production of substance such as pharmaceuticals, antibodies or vaccines for the bio conversion of organic waste.

Bioreactors can be classified according to the type of biocatalysts and the type of bioreactions.
The first classification is based on the type biological used-

- MICROBIAL FERMENTERS
-ENZYMES REACTOR
