Biotechnische

Biotechnische is an adjective used in Dutch and German to describe things related to biotechnology. It encompasses the technical applications of biological systems and processes to produce goods and services.

In practice, biotechnische work includes the development and operation of bioprocesses such as fermentation and cell culture, the design of bioreactors and downstream processing, and the application of enzymes and microbial systems in production. It also covers advances in genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and analytical methods used to monitor biological systems.

Applications span multiple sectors: pharmaceutical manufacturing (biopharmaceuticals), agriculture (biotech crops and biologics), food and beverage (fermented products, enzymes), industrial biotech (biocatalysis, bio-based materials), environmental biotechnology (bioremediation, waste treatment), and energy (biofuels, biomass conversion).

Key considerations include regulatory compliance, biosafety, quality assurance, and ethical implications. National and international frameworks govern research and commercialization, affecting risk assessment, labeling, approvals, and environmental impact.

Terminology: biotechnische is used as an attributive adjective to describe techniques, equipment, and processes that apply biotechnology in a technical context. The term is often found in professional and industrial literature, contrasted with broader conceptual terms like biotechnology or bioengineering.
