The bioactivity potential of marine polysaccharides has long been
considered an underexploited aspect. These molecules found in
seaweed, microalgae, bacteria, and animal fish (shellfish,
mollusks, etc.) and the derived oligosaccharides need to be
explored thoroughly with an interdisciplinary approach. They are an
extraordinary source of chemical diversity, and the literature
highlights many applicative fields, including the food industry,
cosmetics, biomedicine, agriculture, environmental protection,
wastewater management, etc. More recently, a new challenge has
emerged: the exploitation of marine biomass as the source of
sustainable energy to participate in the future replacement of
fossil resources. Enzymatic Technologies for Marine Polysaccharides
provides insight into the recent research developments of marine
polysaccharides and their current and potential applications. The
first section of the book explores the diversity of marine
polysaccharides from various angles, including a description of the
chemical complexity and current applications and new perspectives
in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and biomaterials offered by
recent research. Efficient valorization of the marine
polysaccharide biomass requires a rigorous analysis of the
polysaccharides structure and their biological properties. The
second section of the book concerns the development of extraction
techniques and the improvement of the methods aimed at the
characterization of their structure and function. Finally, the
third and last section of the book articulates the enzymatic
technologies from the discovery of novel enzymes to their
production pipelines related to the fields of biorefinery, food,
pharmaceutics, and other fine chemicals. Presents the latest
research in marine oligosaccharides and polysaccharides Written by
world-class researchers in marine enzyme technology Discusses the
latest developments in extraction methods Presents a detailed
overview of enzymatic routes for modification, production, and
synthesis of marine oligosaccharides Contains extensive references
at the end of each chapter to enhance further study
