Biotechnology impact

Manufacturing approaches for selected bioproducts of the new biotechnology impact product recovery and purification. The most prevalent bioseparations method is chromatography (qv). Thus the practical tools used to initiate scaleup of process Hquid chromatographic separations starting from a minimum amount of laboratory data are given.

In the 1980s, advances in biotechnology had a considerable impact on steroid research. During this period, the mechanism of steroid hormone-activated gene regulation became more clearly defined. These mechanistic studies stiH receive considerable attention in the primary Hterature. 

Potential consumer benefits from biotechnology (56) are cost and quaUty. The use of biotech means to increase the level of various sulfur-containing amino acids in coffee proteins, and to enhance sucrose and oil levels, could have an impact on the flavor and aroma of the finished ground coffee product. Also, caffeine level modification/elimination through genetic manipulations of the coffee plant could yield low caffeine coffee without additional processing by the manufacturer. 

Advances in biochemical knowledge have illuminated many areas of medicine. Conversely, the study of diseases has often revealed previously unsuspected aspects of biochemistry. The determination of the sequence of the human genome, nearly complete, will have a great impact on all areas of biology, including biochemistry, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. 

Genomic and molecular tools have made great impacts on plant biotechnology and offer potential for manipulation of carotenoids as natural colorants and also for applications in human and animal health. While microbial and other non-plant systems have been successfully used, plant modification eliminates need for expensive bioreactors and offers economically feasible opportunities for less developed nations for production of nutraceuticals and other chemical products. 

Effective management of microbiology collections requires that the cultures meet current and future international standard requirements of biotechnology industries. The knowledge and competence of the scientists performing cell culture work obviously impact the quality of the cultures. 

The Health Sector (Food, Agriculture, and Pharmacy industries) has received the greatest impact of biotechnologies both, social and economical. Therefore, the chemical applications of biology to this sector have deeply contributed to that consolidation, leading the development of biotechnologies to a mature state. A list of biotechnological companies, exclusively associated to the Food and Pharmacy industries is included in Table 1. Those companies are not analyzed in this book and are only included for completeness purposes and to prevent the oil reader of useless search.

Additional future innovations likely to impact upon pharmaceutical biotechnology include the development of alternative product production systems, alternative methods of delivery and the development of engineered cell-based therapies, particularly stem cell therapy. As mentioned previously, protein-based biotechnology products produced to date are produced in either microbial...
