A mechanical operation used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases) by interposing a medium to fluid flow through which the fluid can pass, but the solids in the fluid are retained.
Used for separation of filamentous fungi and filamentous bacteria eg.streptomycetes and often yeast flocs.
Uses pressure created by overpressure or vacuum. Rate depends on: filter area, fluid viscosity and
resistance generated by filter cake

b)lytic enzymes Chemical means:-salts, surfactants,
osmotic shock, freezing Lytic enzymes:-lysozymes
![Page 14: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Process of recovering a compound or group of compound from a mixture or from cells into a solvent phase is called extraction
Involves both separation as well as concentration of product
Useful for recovery of lipophilic substances and in antibiotic recovery
Early step after cell separation
![Page 15: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Employs two immiscible liquids into which product is differentially soluble
Smaller volumes of solvent are used for repeated extraction of a given sample
Back extraction tends to increase sensitivity of extraction
![Page 16: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some concentration occur during extraction process
Final concentration may be achieved by:- Evaporation Membrane filteration Ion exchange methods Adsorption methods
![Page 17: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Used in case of solvent extraction Efficient arrangements are made for recovery of
evaporated solvent to reduce cost
For low grade products evaporation of whole broth is done using spray drier
Spray drying
Requires use of heat to evaporate water – unsuitable for most proteins
![Page 18: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Generally achieves both concentration and separation of the products on the basis of size
It includes:- microfiltration ,ultra filtration , reverse osmosis and electro dialysis
Micro and ultra filtration separates molecules of diff sizes
Reverse osmosis $ electro dialysis separate molecules of same size

Aims at obtaining product in highly purified state
It is achieved by:- Crystallisation Chromatographic procedures
![Page 22: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Process of formation of solid crystals precipitating from a solution, melt or more rarely deposited directly from a gas.
Chemical solid-liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.
Mainly used for purification of low molecular weight compounds eg. In case of antibiotics like penicillin G
Final stage in purification of products
![Page 23: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Used for purification of low molecular wt. compounds from mixture of similar molecules
It includes:-a)Adsorption chromatographyb)Ion exchange chromatographyc)Gel permeation chromatographyd)Affinity chromatography
Separates molecules due to their differential affinities for the surface of solid matrix
Eg. Of solid matrix are- silica gel, hydroxyapetite or an organic polymer
![Page 24: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ion exchange chromatography
• Involves binding and separation of proteins based on charge-charge interactions
• Proteins bind at low ionic strength, and are eluted at high ionic strength
![Page 25: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Use molecules called effectors Product has high and specific affinity for
effectors Effector is immobilised on water insoluble
carrier Carrier is packed in column through which
mixture is passed Effector binds to only those molecules for which it is specific and retains in the column Later recovered by elution using buffer
solution of specific pH
![Page 26: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Also known as ‘size exclusion chromatography’ and ‘gel filtration chromatography’
Separates molecules on the basis of molecular size
Separation is based on the use of a porous matrix. Small molecules penetrate into the matrix more, and their path length of elution is longer.
Large molecules appear first, smaller molecules later
![Page 27: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Last step in DSP Makes product suitable for handling and
storage Should be accomplished with minimum rise in
temperature It involves
a)Vaccum dryingb)Spray drying
c)Freeze drying
![Page 28: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Solution or slurry to be dried is atomized by nozzle or rotating disc
Hot air current is passed (150-250.c) Drying is so rapid that temp. of particles
remain low Used for enzymes ,food products and
antibiotics
![Page 29: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Uses both heat and vacuum Can be applied both in batch mode and
continuous mode More effective
![Page 30: The various processes used for the actual recovery of useful products from fermentation or any other process together constitute ‘downstream processing’](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d6d5503460f94a4e4d7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Liquor to be dried is first frozen Water is sublimed from frozen mass Low pressure is maintained to promote sublimation Energy for sublimation is provided by heated plates and
radiation onto the surface Temperature is regulated by regulating pressure in drying
chamber Most gentle method of drying Used mainly out of all Used for many pharmaceutical products like vaccines ,
enzymes etc.
