1. Improvement of animal and plant food by transgenic technology?
The application of transgenic technology enables people to obtain some specific excellent characters of animals and plants according to their own wishes, so as to achieve their highest nutritional value, yield or insect resistance as much as possible. This is the prototype technology of genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified potatoes and so on. , which is what we are familiar with at ordinary times. Its application in plants is relatively mature, but its application in animals is still in the research stage.
2. Application in food preservation?
Consumers always like to buy fresh food, but due to the characteristics of various foods or the external environment, our country suffers huge losses every year because of food corruption, and some statistics are shocking. The emergence of bioengineering technology has greatly alleviated this problem.
3. Biosensor technology?
Biosensor can detect the contents of bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, toxins and additives in food, which is simple and convenient to use and has high accuracy. Biosensors include microbial sensors, enzyme sensors, tissue sensors, cell sensors and immunosensors. They can selectively identify and respond to the object to be detected, which is simple and practical and provides great convenience for food detection.
4. Immunological methods?
Immunological methods in food detection are developed based on the specific combination of antigen and antibody. When detecting food, the in vitro reaction of antigen and antibody is used. This method has low cost, fast analysis speed and many kinds of detection, and has been widely used in the detection of contaminated bacteria, contaminated fungi, contaminated toxins, pesticide residues and adulteration in food.
Introduction to Biotechnology Specialty:
Biotechnology mainly studies the basic theories, knowledge and skills of modern biology and biotechnology, including molecular biology, microbiology, genetic engineering, fermentation engineering and cell engineering.
Mainly use biological substances to improve products, improve animals and plants, or cultivate microorganisms for special purposes. Common cloning, gene recombination technology and biological vaccine cultivation all belong to this.
Training objectives: To train students with strong mathematical foundation, international vision, rigorous scientific thinking, professional theory and professional skills training, and master the basic theories, knowledge and skills of biological science and technology.
And can use the theoretical knowledge and skills to engage in teaching, scientific research, scientific research, technology development, personnel training and management in biotechnology industry and related fields.
