Biotechnology and Industrial Applications of Probiotics

Biotechnology and Industrial Applications of Probiotics focuses on the large-scale production, formulation, and commercialization of beneficial microorganisms for use in healthcare, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Advances in biotechnology have enabled the development of efficient fermentation processes, strain optimization, and stabilization techniques to produce high-quality probiotic products with enhanced viability and functionality.

This session will explore industrial fermentation technologies, including the use of bioreactors, upstream and downstream processing, and preservation methods such as freeze-drying and microencapsulation to ensure product stability and shelf life. It will also highlight innovations in strain selection, genetic engineering, and quality control to improve the efficacy and safety of probiotic products.

Experts will discuss the wide range of industrial applications, including functional foods and beverages, dietary supplements, animal health products, and therapeutic formulations. The session will also cover regulatory requirements, market trends, and challenges in scaling up production while maintaining product consistency and effectiveness.
