The discovery of enzymes as biocatalysts has led to various biotechnological developments. The capability of enzymes to catalyse various chemical reactions both in vivo and in vitro has led them to applications in various industries, such as food, feed, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, detergent, textile, paper, leather, and fine chemical industries. Microbial Fermentation and Enzyme Technology mainly focuses on production and application of enzymes in various industries. Further, it also discusses recent developments in enzyme engineering particularly those involved in creating and improving product formations through enzyme and fermentation technology.
Salient features:
Includes current research and developments in the area of microbial aspects in different fields like food, chemicals, pharmaceutical, bioprocess, etc.
Discusses various enzymes that are used in refinement of environmental pollutions and its application in different industrial sectors
Focuses on production and application of enzymes in various industries
Highlights recent developments in enzyme engineering with respect to its application in textile, pharmaceutical, nanobiotechnology, bioremediation and many other related fields.
"This volume explores how enzyme technologies are used in industrial settings. A broad spectrum of applications is covered related to agriculture, food production, textile production, and clinical diagnosis. The historical and modern processes of making fermented foods are also described and their potential health benefits explored. The current state of knowledge regarding amylases, a class of starch-digesting enzymes, is covered. Biosensor technology, a modern method for fusing biochemistry with electronics, is also touched on. Enzymatic applications in the production of biofuels and waste disposal are explored in particular chapters. In the aggregate, the subject matter of this volume is broad, yet each chapter is fairly specific and some chapters even provide technical protocols. Given such specificity, the volume could be of use to advanced students in agricultural or food science; environmental, chemical, or bioengineering; or possibly students of nutrition."
