Workshop on ‘Plant Bioproducts and Industrial Scale-Up’

July 5-9, 2010

Target Audience

The workshop will benefit researchers, faculty and students by providing hands-on training on screening of bioactive compounds from plants and industrial aspects involved in scaling up of production process.

Theme

The workshop will provide a holistic view of the entire sequence of events from screening for active compounds to scale up of production process. It will comprise laboratory (70%) and lecture (30%) components and provide hands-on training in:

• Bioactivity-guided fractionation: Secondary metabolite production from plants, screening for bioactive compounds using bioactivity-guided fractionation and testing them for anti-microbial activity and cyto-toxicity on animal cell lines.
• Diversity analyses: Bioinformatics tools will provide information on activity related to chemo/ecotypes.
• Scale-up during industrial production:

o Understanding of problems during scaling up production of bioproducts
o Economics of setting up industrial production units
o Manufacturing process, packaging and marketing issues
o cGMP, ISO norms and intellectual property issues

• Industrial Visit: Participants will be taken to Sanat Products Ltd. (unit of Dabur India Ltd.), Bulandshahar for exposure to industrial production aspects. This will create awareness about scaled-up production, global regulatory standards applicable for bioproducts and the necessity for conformance to norms for reaching a wider and international market.
