The 3rd International Conference on Chemical was orgenized by Chemical Engineering Programme, School Of Engineering & Information Technology UMS. It was held at Novotel Hotel, 1Borneo Kota Kinabalu, Sabah from 12 –14th August 2009.
ABOUT
Malaysia is the 4th most biodiverse nation in Asia. However, the utilization of biodiversity is relatively untapped in Malaysia compared to countries like the USA and Europe. By introducing new methods and technologies in the bioprocessing of existing natural resources in Malaysia, we can expect to see a synergistic combination that promises great things. Examples include the extraction and purification of Tongkat Ali (EurycomalongifoliaJack) active ingredients and application in pharmaceutical and neutraceuticals; the production of biodiesel from palm oil, and the biotechnology facilitation of the breeding and hatching activities of high-value marine fish.
As an example of Malaysian biodiversity, Sabah is a potential hub for biotechnology industries with its diverse flora and fauna. Industries involving phytochemicals, marine products, biofuels can benefits from this abundance through value added processing which requires advanced in natural resources engineering through advanced materials, product design and product development.
Therefore, I really hope that ICCBPE/SOMChE-2009 will enhance and expedite this synergistic combination.
Furthermore, the article said that the primary aim of ICCBPE/SOMChE-2009 is to discuss the potential technologies for advanced product design and as a platform for collaboration between researchers and industries for natural products.
A particular area of focus for ICCBPE will be bioprocessing. The benefits of biotechnology might be an anomaly if it were not for engineering, specifically bioprocess engineering, the discipline that puts biotechnology to work. To quote Louis Pasteur, bioprocess engineering is to biotechnology “as the fruit is to the tree.” Neither can exist without the other.
