Course Objectives
This course aims to introduce the basic biological reaction engineering principles, the design of a biological reactor and the prediction of the change in quality of a particular food as a function of both time and environmental conditions during production and storage.
Course Content
Rate of a chemical reaction. Kinetics of biological
reactions. Kinetics of biomass production, substrate
utilization and product formation in cell cultures.
Kinetics of microbial death and enzyme
inactivation. Design and analysis of biological
reactors. Immobilized biocatalysts, reaction with
diffusion.
