Significance of biotechnological processes in food production

چکیده
Knowledge Based BioEconomy [KBBE] is based mainly on taking advantages of modern, innovative technologies, including genetic engineering and biotechnology. Genetically modified products and technologies used for their production [particularly in the case of agro-food industry] raise a lot of emotions among the public. Majority of people is not oriented that: • the competitiveness of the agri-food industry is the result of low-cost feed, • Polish (as well as UE) nutritional self-sufficiency is not higher than 50%. In this situation public opinion is a political and economical factor. Legislation friendly for innovation is a major enhancer for scientific and technical progress. The answer for the question “Are we ready for GMO?” is critically important and will be discussed in this lecture. L12.2

Biotechnological Production of Vitamins
Vitamins are defined as essential micronutrients that are required in trace quantity and cannot be synthesized by mammals. Apart from their in vivo nutritional and physiological roles as growth factors for men, animals, plants and microorganisms, vitamins are now being increasingly introduced as food/feed additives, as medical-therapeutic agents, as health aids, and also as technical aids. Prod...
متن کاملβ-galactosidase Production by Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142 Using Inexpensive Substrates in Solid-State Fermentation: Optimization by Orthogonal Arrays Design
Background: Enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose is one of the most important biotechnological processes in the food industry, which is accomplished by enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal, β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23), trivial called lactase. Orthogonal arrays design is an appropriate option for the optimization of biotechnological processes for the production of microbial...
