Until now, no comprehensive handbook on industrial biocatalysis has
been available. Soliciting chapters on virtually every aspect of
biocatalysis from international experts most actively researching
the field, the Handbook of Industrial Biocatalysis fills this need.
The handbook is divided into three sections based on types of
substrates. The first section describes the newest biotechnology
and bioprocesses for producing industrial products from hydrophobic
substrates such as oils and fats. The discussion of biocatalysis
covers single and multiple catalytic reactions involved in the
creation of products as well as molecular manipulation of enzymes
and product recovery. The products include healthy food,
nutritional supplements, nutraceuticals, specialty chemicals,
surfactants, biopolymers, and antimicrobial agents. The second
section covers the production of value-added products from
carbohydrate substrates. The scope of this section includes ethanol
production, oligosaccharides and glycosides, utilization of
hemicelluloses, and carbohydrate-active enzymes. The third section
is dedicated to other potential industrial applications such as
bioelectrocatalysis for synthesizing chemicals, fuels, and new
drugs. The authors explore novel nutrition delivery systems, green
chemistry, and the industrial applications of extremophiles. The
organizer of several annual worldwide symposia on biocatalysis,
editor Ching T. Hou has compiled a cornerstone reference for
scientists in academic, industrial, and government research
institutes, as well as for graduate-level students involved in
biosciences, chemical engineering, biotechnology, microbiology, oil
and colloid chemistry, and food chemistry.
