Introduction
Terms related to Bioprocess development:
Bioprocess technology- A technique that produces a
biological material
Industrial microbiology/ biotechnology- deals with all
forms of microbiology and biotechnology which have an
economic aspect.
Fermentation technology- deals with process and
techniques involved in fermentation, in which a substance
breaks down to simpler ones.
Biochemical engineering- is a field of study which involves
both chemical engineering and biological engineering.

7. Stages in Bioprocess development
• Upstream process- refers to the first step in which biomolecules are
produced by biotic systems (micro-organism, cell-lines, or single cell
chlorophytes) in bioreactors
• Downstream process- refers to the recovery and purification of biosynthetic
products, recycling salvageable components and proper effluent treatment
and disposal.

11. Challenges in Industrial bioprocessing
Bioprocess development and technology, Dr. Varsha C Mohanan, St.Mary’s CollegeBioprocess development and technology, Dr. Varsha C Mohanan, St.Mary’s College
•Agricultural raw materials are increasingly costly
•Low cost materials like cellulose cannot be readily
used for microbial process
•Bioprocess is still not effective as chemical
processing
•Chemical industry is also emerging competitive
•Large amount funding is needed for Bioprocess
12. •Make Agriculture more competitive and sustainable
•Improve quality of life of people while reducing impact by
development of innovative and affordable products.
•Helps increase industrial economy and environmental
efficiency and sustainability
