CRC Press Next-Generation Food Enzymes: AI Design, Circular Bioeconomy, and Sustainable Innovation

Next-Generation Food Enzymes explores advanced enzyme technologies driven by Artificial Intelligence to enhance food processing efficiency, promote sustainability, and support a circular bioeconomy through eco-friendly biocatalytic innovations. It promotes sustainable innovation by reducing resource dependency and greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional food manufacturing. The book integrates three cutting-edge domains: artificial intelligence in enzyme design, circular bioeconomy principles, and sustainable food innovation. It systematically covers fundamental enzymology (Chapters 1- 2), technological methodologies (Chapters 3-5), practical applications in waste valorization and product development (Chapters 6-11), and forward-looking considerations including personalized nutrition and regulatory frameworks (Chapters 12-15). This comprehensive structure successfully bridges theoretical foundations with industrial implementation. Key Features: Presents cutting-edge insights into AI-driven enzyme design and its transformative role in sustainable food processing Explains how enzyme technologies contribute to the circular bioeconomy by converting food and agricultural waste into valuable products Covers real-world case studies and practical applications of enzymes in foods such as dairy, bakery, and beverages Analyses the environmental and economic benefits of replacing chemical catalysts with bio-based enzyme systems
