This new book, Biotechnical Processing in the Food Industry: New Methods, Techniques, and Applications, explores several newly emerged techniques and technologies that have significantly changed the scenario of the dairy and food sector by making the processes more stable and more economically viable. Worldwide adoption of these novel technologies will also, the editors believe, provide benefit to consumers in terms of enhanced food safety labeling, nutritional security, and value-added products at reasonable cost. Divided into three main parts, the book looks at technological trends and advances in dairy research and industry, emerging technological developments, and potential advanced research in the food, health and processing industry.

Polymer-Drug Conjugates: Linker Chemistry, Protocols and Applications discusses important concepts, fundamentals and prospective applications of 'Linker Chemistry' in a clear-and-concise manner. The book provides vital information on chemical entities binding with the drug-polymer complex for targeted drug delivery systems. It highlights roles and significance, different classes and synthetic protocols as well as mechanisms of chemical bond formation in drug-polymer conjugation in drug delivery, also offering insights into the mechanism of polymer interaction with linker and drug molecules by biodegradable chemical bonding. The protocol of binding with drug molecules is clearly explained and justified with case studies, helping researchers and advanced students in the pharmaceutical sciences understand fundamentals involved and related aspects in molecule designing for effective therapeutic benefits.

Cosemeceuticals, cosmetic formulations developed for pharmaceutical purposes, has attracted attention of researchers across the globe in recent years. Despite of extensive armamentarium available to treat UV rays associated skin damage and subsequent photo-ageing, search for a suitable alternative still remains elusive. This book explicitly explains a representative study to formulate and evaluate cosmeceutical formulation containing multi-photoprotectants for effective protection from harmful effects due to chronic exposure to sun rays. It is an attempt to provide experimental insights in to the process and intricacies of pharmaceutical product development, optimization and pre-clinical efficacy studies in simplified manner for easy understanding to serve as a start-up guide to scientific fraternity involved in the field of cosmeceuticals.
