Biochemical Engineering is one of the pillar industries of the 21st century and is the interdiscipline of biology, chemistry and engineering, being the general term of biochemical engineering and bio-processing engineering as well as being a branch of biotechnology. It is also one of the frontiers of chemical engineering disciplines and is the means for the conversion of biological technology into productivity, industrialization and commercialization. Biochemical Engineering products are products with animals, plants, microorganisms as raw materials and processing through approaches of biochemical engineering, physics and chemistry. It is widely applied to various kinds of fields including medicine, food, feed, basic organic chemicals, organic acids and bio-pesticides.
Skin Benifits of Melatonine
Melatonin is a lipophilic peptide hormone normally secreted by the pineal gland that plays a role in hair growth, immunoregulation, and aging, among other functions. Melanin is also synthesized and me

Uses of Nisin
Nisin was less effective in high-fat sausages and in the presence of orthophosphates. Samelis et al found that dipping sliced pork bologna in nisin (125 μg/ml) plus sodium diacetate (3 μg/ml) was more
