Key Data Set Information
Location TZ-ZJ-CN
Reference year 2018
Name
Acarbose production ; acarbose raw material production ; biological fermentation
Use advice for data set When utilizing this data for life cycle assessments, users must ensure the inclusion of all stages of the production process for accurate evaluation. This includes accounting for the environmental impacts during the seed culture, fermentation, refining, and drying stages of acarbose production. If considering the end-of-life stage, the potential for pharmaceutical recycling or waste treatment should be factored into the analysis. It is crucial to note that the methodology should align with the pharmaceutical industry’s regulations on API production.
Technical purpose of product or process The acarbose produced through this biological fermentation process is primarily used for the pharmaceutical manufacturing of anti-diabetic medication. It is utilized as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the formulation of drugs for the management of blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
