A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
I recently tried some beverages from Bionade GmbH which are rather unique and deserved their own post. They are not soft drinks for a start […]
The seafood industry generates a large amount of biodegradable waste and none more so than shrimp and prawns. It is not surprising that with such […]
At a recent conference on managing waste fruit materials, a supplier commented on research efforts directed to using coffee bean waste. One of the issues […]
Patulin (4-hydroxy-4H-furo (3, 2-c) pyran-2 (6H)-one) has long been recognised as problem mycotoxin found on mouldy fruits, predominantly apples and pears, some vegetables and other foodstuffs. Patulin is a […]
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule which is fundamental to life. For a start it is the code that determines the structure and nature of […]
DNA replication is one of the key fundamental processes of biology. It is the way cells are able to replicate their coding. The DNA polymerases […]
![DNA. Nucleic acid purification. Okazaki fragments. PCR (digital PCR [dPCR], multiplex digital PCR, qPCR), DNA Repair](https://foodwrite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/dna-geralt-pixaby-03539309_640-326x245.jpg)
Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides that are synthesized discontinuously. They are formed during the process of duplication of DNA. The other strand […]
5′-capping, also known as mRNA capping, is a post-transcriptional modification that occurs in the early stages of mRNA processing in eukaryotic cells. It involves the […]
Gaucher’s disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or malfunction of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase (GBA). This enzyme is responsible for breaking […]
Inborn errors of metabolism, also known as inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) or congenital metabolic disorders, are a group of genetic disorders that affect the […]
Crossing over, also known as recombination, is a genetic process that occurs during meiosis, specifically in prophase I of meiosis I. It involves the exchange […]
Mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as […]
Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of cells that carry genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The chemical composition of a […]
BHK-21 refers to a cell line derived from the kidney cells of the baby hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). BHK-21 stands for Baby Hamster Kidney-21. It is […]
Hot trub and cold trub are two important terms that brewers in particular need to understand more about. Hot Trub/Hot Break Wort is boiled for […]
Ion-exchange chromatography involves the separation of molecules such as proteins based on their charge profile. It is often defined by process engineering texts as the […]
Introduction Centrifugation is one of the standard technologies in the food and biochemical engineering industry for separating particulates from fluids. Some classic examples include the […]
The manufacture of starch is a very traditional process and can only be sourced from plants. It is a key component of the food supply […]
Plants are unique in many respects but one feature of their biochemistry and metabolism in particular is the synthesis of starch. It comes really from […]
