A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Fluorescence spectroscopy has long occupied a central position in the toolkit of biophysical research. Its capacity to reveal information about molecular structure, interactions, and dynamics […]
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 […]
Vision is the dominant sense for many animals, and its molecular foundations have fascinated biologists, chemists, and physicists alike. The vertebrate retina provides an especially […]
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 central dogma of molecular biology and the accompanying paradigm of nuclear genetics have long shaped our understanding of heredity and cellular function. In broad […]
