Key Data Set Information
Location SJZ-HEB-CN
Reference year 2020
Name
Acarbose production ; acarbose raw material production ; biological fermentation
Use advice for data set When using this life cycle assessment data set, users must account for all stages of production from seed culture to the drying of the end product. Attention should be given to the environmental impacts associated with the biological fermentation process. It is vital to consider the allocation of environmental burdens when recycling waste or by-products. Users should also respect the technological applicability limits and follow methodological guidelines for precise assessment.
Technical purpose of product or process The high purity acarbose produced through this industrial process is intended for use as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the manufacturing of medications for the treatment of diabetes, particularly for controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetic patients.
