Description
Asiatech Publishers Inc Advances In Fermentation Technology by P and ey and Ashok Et Al Eds
The aim of the book is to provide an in-depth study of the principles of fermentation technology and recent advances and developments in the field of fermentation technology, focusing on industrial applications. The entire, presentation has been divided in three section comprising 24 chapters from the eminent experts from all over the world. Part A is General and consists of three chapters on New tools for isolation and identification of micro-organisms, immobilization microencapsulation, and nanobiotechnology and bioprocesses. Part B of the book deals with the bioprocess optimization, design of bioreactors and downstream processing and has six chapters which include biosensors, metabolic engineering and other methods for strain improvement, fermentation media: design and properties, bioreactors: Functions in fermentation processes, statistical design for the optimization of fermentation processes, and downstream processing of biologicals: a strategic approach. The third part of the book, i.e. Part C is on Industrial products and bioprocesses and contains fifteen chapters. These are on industrial enzymes, fermented beverages: The example of winemaking, Production of organic acids: Citric, gluconic and lactic acids, production of vaccines and antibodies, production of amino acids: Lysine and glutamic acid, production of fermented dairy products, production of mushrooms, production of bioflavours, production of bacterial and fungal polysaccharides, production of biofertilizers, solid-state fermentation, biotransformations, bioremediation, aerobic environmental processes, and anaerobic environmental processes. The text is supported by numerous clear, informative diagrams. The book would be of great interest to the post-graduate students and researchers of applied biology, biotechnology, microbiology, biochemical and chemical engineering.
