Recent Trends in Biochemical Engineering for Sustainable Bioprocesses

Abstract

Biochemical engineering plays a pivotal role in the development of sustainable bioprocesses that are essential for producing biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The increasing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable production methods has led to significant advancements in biochemical engineering, including the optimization of microbial systems, the development of novel bioreactors, and the use of renewable feedstocks. This article reviews recent trends in biochemical engineering for sustainable bioprocesses, focusing on innovations in metabolic engineering, process intensification, and waste valorization. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges and future opportunities in scaling up sustainable bioprocesses and their integration into industrial applications.
