Fermentation Science and Engineering Certificate Overview
7M视频's Fermentation Science and Engineering Certificate applies the principles of chemistry and microbiology to study fermentation processes, from traditional food and beverage fermentations, to industrial processes that produce biofuels and refined chemicals, to proteins and antibodies in the biopharma industry.
Fermentation is an industrial process by which microorganisms are used to generate useful end products. Fermentation processes are diverse, from traditional food and beverage fermentations, to industrial processes that produce biofuels and refined chemicals, to proteins and antibodies in the biopharma industry to improve health. With advances in biotechnology, fermentation is an important process used in the pharmaceutical industry to make products like insulin.
In just 12 hours of coursework, you can achieve this certificate and begin a career in the growing field of fermentation science.
