The aim of the course is to study the sustainable production of biotechnological products, using enzymatic and microbial catalysis, as well as downstream processing to isolate them. Industrial or White Biotechnology is a subset of Biotechnology along with Blue, Green and Red Biotechnology. It is the application of Biotechnology for industrial purposes, including processes such as industrial fermentation. It involves the use of cells such as microorganisms, or cell components such as enzymes to create industry-useful products in areas, such as chemistry, food and nutrition, detergents, paper, clothing and textiles and finally biofuels. To this end, Industrial Biotechnology uses renewable raw materials, such as the fraction of vegetable biomass, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions thus reducing our dependence on petrochemicals.
