As a result of their unique physical properties, biological
membrane mimetics such as biopolymers are used in a broad range of
scientific and technological applications. This comprehensive book
covers new applications of biopolymers in the research and
development of industrial scale nutraceutical and functional food
grade products. All the major food biopolymers are included, from
plant, animal and marine sources. Coverage also includes
biopolymer-based drug delivery mechanisms intended for biological
applications such as bio-detection of pathogens, fluorescent
biological labels, and drug and gene delivery. This is the first
interdisciplinary book to address this area specifically and is
essential reading for those who produce the functional biopolymer
materials as well as those who seek to incorporate them into
appropriate nutraceutical, food and drug delivery products.

What exactly do vegans believe? Why has veganism become such a
critical and criticized social movement, and how does veganism
correspond to wider debates about sustainability, animal studies,
and the media? Eva Haifa Giraud offers an accessible route into the
debates that surround vegan politics, which feed into broader
issues surrounding food activism and social justice. Giraud engages
with arguments in favor of veganism, as well as the criticisms
levelled at vegan politics. She interrogates debates and topics
that are central to conversations around veganism, including
identity, intersectional politics, and activism, with research
drawn from literary animal studies, animal geographies,
ecofeminism, posthumanism, critical race theory, and new
materialism. Giraud makes an original theoretical intervention into
these often fraught debates, and argues that veganism holds radical
political potential to act as "more than a diet" by disrupting
commonplace norms and assumptions about how humans relate to
animals. Drawing on a range of examples, from recipe books with
punk aesthetics to social media campaigns, Giraud shows how
veganism's radical potential is being complicated by its
commercialization, and elucidates new conceptual frameworks for
reclaiming veganism as a radical social movement.
