Risk assessment and regulation of bioengineered food products
Europe is the epicentre of what has been described as an all out war over the acceptance of genetically engineered foods. Controversy over health effects has centred around simple and complex models of transgenic modifications. Proponents of the simple models emphasise familiarity with the host plant and the well-characterisation of the transgene. Advocates of the complex models consider the ...

Biological products cold chain requires time Temperature Indicator
Biological products refer to the preparation of biological materials such as microorganisms, cells, various animal and human-derived tissues, and liquids using ordinary or biotechnologies such as genetic engineering, cell engineering, protein engineering, fermentation engineering, etc. Biological products are very sensitive to temperature and are generally stored and transported in the cold ...

Polyamides From Wood Creates Building Blocks for Biobased Plastics
On August 30, 2018, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (Fraunhofer IGB) published an article announcing the latest advances in using 3-carene as a building block to produce biobased plastics. The aforementioned substance, 3-carene, “is a component of turpentine oil, a waste stream of the production of cellulose from wood.” This ...

Biotechnology: legal and other issues in a Thailand experience
Recognising the potential of biotechnology to affect a broad spectrum of industry, Thailand established the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) in 1983. The main mandate of BIOTEC is to promote and support research and development with careful planning and prioritisation. The ultimate goal is to fulfil its potential to commercialise the end-products or research ...

4 Reasons Biotech Companies don’t Industrialize
Biotechnology is a very broad but highly specialized field with great potential for market impact. As a sustainable technology, biotech could reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and therefore our carbon footprint. It covers a range of applications, like personalized medicines, the development of algae as an alternative protein source and pioneering work around tissue engineering. One of the ...

Mathematical modelling of biofilms and biofilm reactors for engineering design
Mathematical models are critical to modern environmental biotechnology—both in research and in the engineering practice. Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) simulators are used by consulting engineers and WWTP operators when planning, designing, optimizing, and evaluating the unit processes that comprise municipal and industrial WWTPs. Many WWTP simulators have been expanded to include a submerged ...
