Industrial Visit to Yakult – B. Pharmacy 1st Semester Students (ASPS)

 Anangpuria School of Pharmaceutical Sciences  organized an enriching industrial visit to Yakult for 100 students of B. Pharmacy 1st Semester, accompanied by four faculty members. The visit aimed to provide students with practical exposure to industrial manufacturing processes and to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications.

Upon arrival, the students were warmly welcomed by the Yakult team and introduced to the company’s history, global presence, and commitment to promoting health through probiotics. A detailed presentation helped students understand the science behind Lactobacillus casei Shirota, the key probiotic strain used in Yakult.

The visit included a guided tour of the fully automated production facility, where students observed various stages of manufacturing, including:

Processing and fermentation

Quality control and safety standards

Packaging and bottling operations

Cold-chain maintenance

The interaction with Yakult’s technical experts enriched the students’ understanding of industrial hygiene, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and stringent quality assurance protocols followed in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

Faculty members highlighted that the visit greatly enhanced the students’ knowledge of probiotics, industrial workflows, and career opportunities in related sectors.

Anangpuria school of Pharmaceutical sciences extends its gratitude to Yakult for their hospitality and for providing such an insightful learning experience. The visit proved to be a valuable academic exposure, inspiring students to explore innovation and excellence in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
