Bioprocessing for Biomolecules Production
Presents the many recent innovations and advancements in the field of biotechnological processes This book tackles the challenges and potential of biotechnological processes for the production of new industrial ingredients, bioactive compounds, biopolymers, energy sources, and compounds with commercial/industrial and economic interest by performing an interface between the developments achieved in the recent worldwide research and its many challenges to the upscale process until the adoption of commercial as well as industrial scale. Bioprocessing for Biomolecules Production examines the current status of the use and limitation of biotechnology in different industrial sectors, prospects for ...
Biochar and its Application in Bioremediation
Biochar prepared from agricultural biomass has received considerable attention because of the huge availability of ago-waste at zero cost, flexibility, high efficiency, renewability, faster contaminant removal rate, ability to treat concentrated effluent and reduction of sludge production after the treatment. This book on biochar is a comprehensive account of preparation of biochar from agricultural waste. It provides a roadmap in development of future strategy for pollution abatement and sustainable waste management. This book contains up-to-date information on biochar and its role in environment protection. The book covers useful information and applications of biochar to research scholars, academicians, agronomists, scientists and environmentalist working in the field of environment protection, bioremediation, waste management and climate change mitigation.
Agroecology
It is known that conventional agriculture with the use of inputs and agrochemicals is not sustainable in time, causing numerous problems such as contamination of food, people and environment. Thus, agriculture must adapt to cause the least possible impact to the environment and to human beings. In this context, agroecology enters as an alternative to conventional production, being a production system more ecologically correct, not allowing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Agroecological and organic systems are responsible for the production of food with less use of inputs external to the property, requiring a more efficient management of the vegetation cover and nutrient cycli...
Salvia Officinalis:
"This book contains five chapters, each of which provides a different perspective on Salvia officinalis, commonly known as sage. Chapter One describes the use of this plant as a traditional medicine as well as recent studies confirming the various health benefits of sage. Chapter Two explains how Salvia officinalis can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Chapter Three focuses on the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Salvia officinalis. Chapter Four describes the potential of Salvia officinalis compounds and extracts in the management of cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as safety concerns due to the presence of a neurotoxic compound in this species. Lastly, Chapter Five covers production technology, harvesting, utilization, and cytotoxicity of Salvia officinalis in detail"--
Rice and Rice Straw
Rice and Rice Straw: Production, Cultivation and Uses opens with a discussion on rice straw, a substance rich in polysaccharides with a high lignin and silica content, limiting voluntary intake and reducing degradability by rumen microbes. The authors suggest that the treatment of rice straw could be a good potential feed for ruminants. Next, the authors revise the fractionation processes used for the recovery of hemicelluloses from rice straw, subsequently providing a critical appraisal of the potential products that can be derived from it, and what conversion and purification processes are necessary for their production. Additionally, the current and potential industrial status of these pr...
Fungal Biomolecules
Fungi have an integral role to play in the development of the biotechnology and biomedical sectors. The fields of chemical engineering, Agri-food,Biochemical, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and medical device development all employ fungal products, with fungal biomolecules currently used in a wide range of applications, ranging from drug development to food technology and agricultural biotechnology. Understanding the biology of different fungi in diverse ecosystems, as well as their biotropic interactions with other microorganisms, animals and plants, is essential to underpin effective and innovative technological developments. Fungal Biomolecules is a keystone reference, integrating branches ...
Soybeans
This book provides current research on the cultivation, nutritional properties and effects on health of soybeans. Chapter One examines the antioxidant defense system in foliar and seed extracts of seven soybean cultivars. Chapter Two introduces phytic acid, an anti-nutritional factor in soybean seeds, soybean mea and phytic acid in animal production, low phytic acid (LPA) soybeans, LPA soybeans in meal production, and the potential problems with LPA soybean varieties. Chapter Three explains the mechanisms that regulate the triggered responses produced by different insect pests on soybean organs. Chapter Four reviews possible risks of food chain contamination and the possibility of crop loss ...
Microbiologia Geral e de Alimentos
A microbiologia é a ciência que estuda os microrganismos, popularmente chamados de germes ou micróbios, os quais somente são visualizados através do microscópio. Como ciência, a microbiologia surgiu com a criação do microscópio, inventado pelo holandês Antony Van Leeuwenhoek em 1674. Ele observou seres microscópicos em amostras de solo, saliva e fezes, e os chamou de "animálculos". A partir daí surgiram duas teorias controversas: a teoria da geração espontânea ou teoria da abiogênese na qual se acreditava que os "animálculos" se originavam da composição de plantas e tecidos de diversos animais. E a teoria da biogênese, defendida pelo cientista francês Louis Pasteur, qu...
