How do bioproducts relate to biotechnology?
A. The conversion of bioresources into bioproducts depends on a variety of processes. Many of the new conversion processes are the result of advances in biotechnology. Biotechnology is defined as the broad application of organisms, cells, or processes to produce goods or services. Biotechnology includes processes such as fermentation used to produce wine or beer, insects used as biocontrols to control other insects, plants to absorb pollutants from soil before they reach streams and lakes, and the culture of plants or cessl in a factory setting. It also includes the development of organisms with novel traits using traditional or new methods for the production of useful materials and biocatalysts (enzymes).
