The Carotenoids book series provides an introduction to the fundamental chemistry, detailed accounts of the basic methods used in carotenoid research, and critical discussions of the biochemistry, functions and applications of carotenoids. The use of carotenoids against diseases is discussed. This volume is to be used in conjunction with the Carotenoids book series and the Carotenoids Handbook.
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Fungal Pigments" that was published in JoF
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 ...
Recent technological advances have provided unique opportunities for the exploration of alternatives to the industrial use of chemically produced synthetic colors. The most promising developments in this area have been in bio-pigmentation derived from microorganisms. This groundbreaking book reviews the current state of the science of bio-pigmentation, providing important insights into the molecular mechanisms of microbial biosynthesis of industrial pigments. Featuring contributions by leading researchers from both industry and academe, it explores the latest advances in the use of bio-pigments as safe, sustainable alternatives to chemically synthesized pigments, and provides extensive cover...
Early integration is the key to success in industrial biotechnology. This is as true when a selected wild-type organism is put to work as when an organism is engineered for a purpose. The present volume Engineering and Manufacturing for Biotechnology took advantage of the 9th European Congress on Biotechnology (Brussels, Belgium, July 11-15, 1999): in the topics handled and in the expertise of the contributors, the engineering science symposia of this congress offered just what was needed to cover the important topic of integration of process engineering and biological research. The editors have solicited a number of outstanding contributions to illustrate the intimate interaction between productive organisms and the numerous processing steps running from the initial inoculation to the packaged product. Upstream processing of the feed streams, selection of medium components, product harvesting, downstream processing, and product conditioning are just a few major steps. Each step imposes a number of important choices. Every choice is to be balanced against time to market, profitability, safety, and ecology.
Dairy foods account for a large portion of the Western diet, but due to the potential diversity of their sources, this food group often poses a challenge for food scientists and their research efforts. Bringing together the foremost minds in dairy research, Handbook of Dairy Foods Analysis compiles the top dairy analysis techniques and methodologies from around the world into one, well-organized volume. Co-Edited by Fidel Toldra - Recipient of the 2010 Distinguished Research Award from the American Meat Science Association Exceptionally comprehensive both in its detailing of methods and the range of products covered, this handbook includes tools for analyzing chemical and biochemical compoun...
Le IXe colloque de la Société européenne pour la biotechnologie marine s'est tenu du 12 au 14 mai 2002 à Nantes, il a permis de réunir en un même lieu les acteurs du monde de la recherche et ceux de l'industrie afin d'exposer et de débattre des avancées dans les principaux domaines de la biotechnologie marine. La majorité des interventions a porté sur les molécules bioactives issues d'organismes et de végétaux marins en donnant des informations sur leur nature (protéine, peptide, enzyme, lipide, polysaccharide...) et sur leurs utilisations potentielles dans des domaines aussi divers que la nutrition humaine et animale (aquaculture, microbiologie) et la santé humaine (pharmacie). Une session a même été totalement consacrée aux polysaccharides marins issus d'algues et de bactéries, des exemples précis sur leur potentiel en santé humaine ont été donnés. Il ressort de ce congrès que la biodiversité des ressources marines offre de nombreux débouchés dans l'industrie et contribue à l'essor de la biotechnologie marine.
