The aim of the course is to give students fundamental knowledge of principles of the production of the main products of fermentation industry which are more or less food products or can find exploitation in the food industry or they are only produced in food plants to be used in other industrial branches (e.g. biofuels). The course is structured from raw materials, applied microorganisms and their metabolism towards required products and finally to the integrated technologies. Each technology is set up in a sequence of unit operations focusing on basic microbiological, biochemical, chemical, physical and engineering principles. Students become even acquainted with apparatuses used in the given industry.

Students will be able to:

Suggest a simple technological variant for a given microbial production discussed in the course. It virtually means to select a suitable microorganism and according to its properties to suggest inocculation/cultivation medium, incl. its chemical composition and finally to present an idea about the whole process course (i.e. time dependences of substrate, product concentrations). On the basis of a qualified process analysis to propose an optimal variant of cultivation technique. From measured data the student is able to calculate the basic bioengineering parameters. Integral part of any solution are the key balances of raw material, air, water, nutrients, ancillary materials and all kinds of wastes. Integral solutions cover also proposal of equipment and a simple transfer from the laboratory to pilot or industrial scales.
