The aim of food processing is to produce food that is palatable and
tastes good, extend its shelf-life, increase the variety, and
maintain the nutritional and healthcare quality of food. To achieve
favorable processing conditions and for the safety of the food to
be consumed, use of food grade microbial enzymes or microbes (being
the natural biocatalysts) is imperative. This book discusses the
uses of enzymes in conventional and non-conventional food and
beverage processing as well as in dairy processing, brewing, bakery
and wine making. Apart from conventional uses, the development of
bioprocessing tools and techniques have significantly expanded the
potential for extensive application of enzymes such as in
production of bioactive peptides, oligosaccharides and lipids,
flavor and colorants. Some of these developments include extended
use of the biocatalysts (as immobilized/encapsulated enzymes),
microbes (both natural and genetically modified) as sources for
bulk enzymes, solid state fermentation technology for enzyme
production. Extremophiles and marine microorganisms are another
source of food grade enzymes. The book throws light on potential
applications of microbial enzymes to expand the base of food
processing industries.
