Biochemical Engineering
Biochemical Engineering Overview
Biochemical engineering is an advanced interdisciplinary field which applies the basic principles of biology and chemistry to design products and processes. Through series of laboratory experiments, Biochemical Engineers explore living organisms and their by-products that are safer for food production, processing, and storage. It involves developing products by determining reactions within and between entities. Baker’s yeast, antibiotics and vinegar are typical examples of by-products of biochemical engineering. Although the industry is still growing, it is estimated to have a market value higher than $100 billion and is focused on addressing climate-change related challenges linked to high energy consumption, water and land-use, agriculture and medicine.
In agriculture, processes in biochemical engineering are targeted at improving agricultural productivity in terms of yields and promoting food safety.
Food processing, packaging and preservation are some areas where its application is evident through fermentation, drying and salting. It can also be deployed in biological pest and disease management.
Biochemical engineering in recent times has evolved to also include tempering with the nutritional value of food to ensure that food items are packed with more essential nutrients.
This approach can be deployed in achieving food security and combatting malnutrition in different parts of the world. Tengrain Science Limited provides a range of services targeted at facilitating collaborative research spaces for the integration of technology in agriculture.
