Synopsis

This handbook discusses how microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeasts) can be modified to various extents by means of molecular genetics or genetic engineering. Compiled and written by the world's leading experts and practioners in food science and food technology, it presents the latest research and development in the discipline. It is easy-to-understand and can be used directly by readers interested in practical and commercial applications. So this book is important for researchers as a reference guide, and it can be used in various disciplines as microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and engineering. 'Food Biotechnology' also is interesting for the industries, in addition to food processing, because commercial products and services affected include fine chemicals, enzymes, cultures, equipment and supplies.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Food Biotechnology: Microorganisms is the only book that compiles comprehensive information on: nucleic acid systems, proteins and enzymes, organic molecules and microorganisms in the context of food biotechnology. It will revolutionize the practice of food biotechnology by explaining how microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, fungi, yeasts) can be modified by means of molecular genetics or genetic engineering. This volume offers appendix listings of genetics and probes, microorganisms, compounds and enzymes. This reference is unlike any other work because of its extensive coverage of: new developments in food technologies, current priorities, new uses of basic science and technologies in the context of traditional or new foods. Also included are unpublished material from patents and/or public domain research.
