Elsevier Biotechnological Production of Bioactive Compounds

Biotechnological Production of Bioactive Compounds provides insights on the most recent innovations, trends, concerns, solutions and practical challenges encountered in the fields of enzyme technology and nanobiotechnology for the production of bioactive materials with extra health benefits. As nanobiotechnology has improved the bioactive extraction process significantly, many bioactives, including bioflavonoids, omega-3 fatty acids, biopigments and low calorie sugar substitutes are a pivotal part of the food industry. The book highlights the production of extra health benefits “bioactives’’ from plants and microbes and explains how the extraction efficiency of bioactives molecules improves significantly with the recent advances in nanobiotechnology. Researchers in the fields of biochemical engineering, biotechnology, bioremediation, environmental sustainability and those in pharma industries will find the information in this book very helpful and illuminating. Review Provides systematic knowledge on soil-plant-atmosphere interactions with an eye toward biotechnology-based solutions for recent issues facing sustainable agriculture From the Back Cover Biotechnological Production of Bioactive Compounds provides insights to most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in the fields of enzyme technology and nanobiotechnology for the production of bioactive materials that have extra health benefits. Bioactives possess extra health benefits along with basic nutrition value found in the native source. Bioactive production is achieved with the aid of food grade enzymes, thus increase public acceptance and moreover it is considered green and environmental-friendly. More recently nanobiotechnology has improved the bioactive extraction process significantly. Recently many bioactives including bioflavonoids, omega-3 fatty acids, biopigments, low calorie sugar substitutes are the pivotal part of the food industry. The book highlights the production of extra health benefits “bioactives’’ from plants and microbes and explains how the extraction efficiency of bioactives molecules improves significantly with the recent advances in nanobiotechnology. Biotechnological Production of Bioactive Compounds would greatly benefit researchers in the disciplines of biochemical engineering, biotechnology, bioremediation, environmental sustainability as well as pharma industries. It may also adopted in biotechnology and related courses at post-graduate level. About the Author Dr. Madan Verma is a visiting researcher and professor in the Department of Biotechnology at Dr. Y.
