Abstract

One of the most remarkable techniques recently introduced into the field of bioprocess engineering is machine learning. Bioprocess engineering has drawn much attention due to its vast application in different domains like biopharmaceuticals, fossil fuel alternatives, environmental remediation, and food and beverage industry, etc. However, due to their unpredictable mechanisms, they are very often challenging to optimize. Furthermore, biological systems are extremely complicated; hence, machine learning algorithms could potentially be utilized to improve and build new biotechnological processes. Gaining insight into the fundamental mathematical understanding of commonly used machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector Machine, Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least Squares and Reinforcement Learning, the present study aims to discuss various case studies related to the application of machine learning in bioprocess engineering. Recent advancements as well as challenges posed in this area along with their potential solutions are also presented.© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
