Penn State chemical engineers have demonstrated proof of concept for a new protein purification process that combines ultrafiltration's high throughput with high specificity achievable through ...

Participants at a recent downstream processing meeting sponsored by Sartorius Stedim Biotech considered a host of new technologies to speed and streamline protein purification, including membrane ...

Depending on the process and who provides the statistics, downstream processing accounts for between 50–80% of the cost of producing biotech drugs. Whatever the exact number, protein purification ...

With the growing demand for healthy diets and functional foods, plant extracts and plant protein peptides are increasingly being used in food processing, health supplement manufacturing, and ...

Conventionally, chromatography is used for protein purification, which is extremely expensive. Alternatively, the protein crystallization method could be used to determine protein structure, but this ...

Engineers devised a way to purify protein drugs during manufacturing. Their approach, which uses nanoparticles to rapidly crystallize proteins, could help make protein drugs more affordable and ...

Off-putting smells can make even the healthiest of foods unpalatable. In a new study, researchers have developed a way to remove unpleasant aromas from plant-based proteins to make them smell more ...
