The Food-Energy-Water Triangle for Sustainable Development
Solutions to the food shortage, demand for clean water, and need for energy for a current world population of 7 billion are the greatest challenges today, which require technological innovation and changes in public policy. This new book provides a broad overview of the nexus of water-food-energy and its relationship with climate and sustainable development, which have huge impact on water and food availability. The volume presents case studies for the management of water, energy, agricultural growth, and food security using empirical analyses and technological interventions. It explores innovations in sustainable food production; energy solutions using biofuels, solar energy, and magnetic energy; and water conservation management.
Microbial Bioreactors for Industrial Molecules
Harness the planet’s most numerous resources with this comprehensive guide Microorganisms constitute the invisible majority of all living creatures on Earth. They are found virtually everywhere on the planet, including environments too extreme for any larger organisms to exist. They form a hugely significant resource whose potential value for human society cannot be overlooked. The creation of microorganism-based bioreactors for the industrial production of valuable biomolecules has the potential to revolutionize a range of industries and fields. Microbial Bioreactors for Industrial Molecules provides a comprehensive introduction to these bioresources. It covers all potential approaches to...
Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems
Due to the growth of the world population, food production has increased exponentially as have the agricultural production systems used to produce food. This book presents both traditional and modern forms of agricultural production, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. The volume discusses seed improvement, crop protection, phytosanitary aspects, protected agriculture, plant factories, hydroponic systems, agricultural mechanization, bioremediation, reduction of herbicide use, and characterization of bioactive compounds. Some methods discussed include in vitro propagation, greenhouse hydroponics, biostimulants from algae, cartography models of vulnerable environmental interactions, nuclear and plastics engineering, eco-friendly extraction processes, use of secondary metabolites in plant defense mechanisms, and more.
Next Generation Materials for Sustainable Engineering
As the global community confronts challenges in energy, environment, health, agriculture, industry, and construction, the significance of sustainable materials becomes paramount. The looming specter of resource depletion necessitates a paradigm shift, urging researchers and engineers to anticipate future needs and forge materials that align with evolving requirements. Next Generation Materials for Sustainable Engineering underscores the urgency of conserving resources and provides a blueprint for achieving this through judicious and sustainable use. From polymers to alloys, nanocomposites to biomaterials, this book traverses the expansive landscape of materials, deciphering their structures ...
Biosystems Engineering Applications for Quality Food Production
Biosystems engineering as an integrated science combines the fields of engineering design and analysis with biological sciences to provide solutions for food production and processing problems. Since food production is an ever-growing, constantly changing food engineering frontier, it is faced with a range of dynamic problems. This new book, Biosystems Engineering Applications for Quality Food Production: Waste Valorization and New Product Development, shows how the two areas of biosystems engineering and food industry come together in an interdisciplinary way to offer solutions to these problems. The book presents the most recent advances in these two areas, ranging from the use of biodiges...
Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture
Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture: Processes, Strategies, Innovations focuses on new production alternatives that do not include pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals for primary food production and instead rely on biologically controlled systems of production. The book also relates a number of advances and innovations in the use of agricultural technologies that employ the study of the physiology of plants to know their resistance to different environments in modern agriculture. The book presents research offering viable alternatives for the control of pests for safe food production that are environmentally friendly and that facilitate the reduction of production ...
Food Byproducts Management and Their Utilization
Food byproducts derived from industrial processing is a serious worldwide problem because it generates environmental pollution and results in significant food and economic losses from food waste. This new volume shows how food byproducts can be value-added renewable sources with the application of novel biotechnologies that avoid hazardous chemicals. The volume discusses the importance of valorizing food wastes and illustrates their value-added properties for industry. It explains the significant progress in bioresources processing for compound extraction and production as well as the increasing interest of food ingredients development, in which health care, environment, and economics play a...
Advances in Food Bioproducts and Bioprocessing Technologies
The book explores and exploits the synergy and boundary between biotechnology, bioprocessing and food engineering. Divided into three parts, Advances in Food Bioproducts and Bioprocessing Technologies includes contributions that deal with new developments in procedures, bioproducts, and bioprocesses that can be given quantitative expression. Its 40 chapters will describe how research results can be used in engineering design, include procedures to produce food additives and ingredients, and discuss accounts of experimental or theoretical research and recent advances in food bioproducts and bioprocessing technologies.
Food Waste Conversion
This volume provides protocols on food waste conversion through the use of novel food processing. Chapters guide readers through tools on the food manufacturing processes, sustainability, new food products, food waste minimization, re-valorization of food residues. All chapters will include an introduction to the respective topic, lists of all necessary materials and reagents, easily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on how to avoid or solve typical problems. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Food Waste Conversion aims to give a comprehensive introduction into methods and proceduresrelated to food waste conversion.
