NEXT-GENERATION ALGAE The book comprehensively details the novel
and biologically active compounds derived from algae for
sustainable healthcare delivery that could be used for the
treatment of an ever-increasing population, prevention of high rate
of morbidity rates, as well as in the treatment of numerous
diseases, and serve as an alternative drug for the prevention of
high level of resistance to synthetic drugs. This second volume
places a special emphasis on the discovery of novel and
biologically active compounds from algae. It covers a wide range of
applications, including the use of astaxanthin and carotenoids
derived from algae for the production of nutraceuticals,
pharmaceuticals, additives, food supplements, and feed. The book
also discusses the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs) and their biomedical applications, recent advancements in
the research of sulfated polysaccharides from algal origin, and
their antiulcer bioactivities. Other topics include the application
of algae in wound healing, the use of nanotechnology for the
bioengineering of useful metabolites derived from algae and their
multifaceted applications, and the production of single-cell
proteins and pigments with high relevance in the industry. Audience
Researchers in industry and academia as well as clinicians in the
fields of microbiology, biotechnology, and food science will find
this book very pertinent.
NEXT-GENERATION ALGAE This book brings together experts in relevant
fields to describe the successful application of algae and their
derivatives in agriculture, improving agricultural sustainability,
harvesting and processing, food security, fishery, aquafarming,
agriculture pollution, and state-of-the-art developments of algae
in commercial and agriculture utilization. This book provides
up-to-date and cutting-edge information on the application of algae
in producing sustainable solutions to various challenges that arise
from an increase in agricultural production, as well as its
utilization in the bioremediation of industrial wastewater.
Moreover, the book provides detailed information about the recent
advancements in smart microalgae wastewater treatment using
Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing applications. Other
topics covered include the use of microalgae in various
applications; the use of algae to remove arsenic; algae’s role in
plastic biodegradation, heavy metal bioremediation, and toxicity
removal from industrial wastewater; the application of DNA transfer
techniques in algae; the use of algae as food and in the production
of food, ascorbic acid, health food, supplements, and food
surrogates; relevant biostimulants and biofertilizers that could be
derived from cyanobacterials and their role in sustainable
agriculture; and algae’s application in the effective production
of biofuels and bioenergy. Audience This book is aimed at a diverse
audience including professionals, scientists, environmentalists,
industrialists, researchers, innovators, and policymakers who have
an interest in bioremediation technologies for extremely polluted
environments, especially in water, air, and soil.
Applications of Seaweeds in Food and Nutrition provides an overview
on the cultural, biological and engineering dimensions relating to
seaweed as a food. With the need for sustainable and healthy foods
growing, this comprehensive resource explores how seaweeds can
deliver not only nutritional benefits, but also antiviral and
antibacterial properties as a food additive and within food
processing and manufacturing. Recent developments show that the use
of seaweed extracts as a compound can prevent browning. It use in
other areas such as a thickening and gelling agents in foods and
cosmetics is also encouraging. There are hundreds of different
varieties of seaweed known to mankind, yet very little literature
is available on the processing of these "crops." This book provides
these valuable and practical insights.
Evaporative Coolers for the Postharvest Management of Fruits and
Vegetables covers world demand for food of high quality without
chemical preservatives and with extended shelf life. The book
provides the practical application of evaporative coolers, with a
strong focus on postharvest management and fruit/vegetable science
as high moisture foods are highly perishable. Special emphasis is
laid on the impact of the evaporative coolant structure on the
nutritional and food safety content of fresh produce. Moreover, the
book covers the effect of evaporative coolant structure towards the
reduction of spoilage microorganisms responsible for the spoilage
of post-harvest losses of various fruits and vegetables. Edited by
a team of specialists, this title also helps people dealing with
microbiology understand how this simple technology can help improve
product quality for communities that currently lack access to
cooling or have unreliable power supplies.
Next Generation Nanochitosan: Applications in Animal Husbandry,
Aquaculture and Food Conservation provides comprehensive and
state-of-the-art-information on the application of nanochitosan for
improving products, especially for the evaluation of biological
active molecules, disease therapeutics, transport vehicle for DNA,
targeted drug delivery, gene therapy, development of smart and high
performance of fish, preservation of foods, tissue engineering, and
improving the taste of aquatic and animal feeds as fish growth
promoter. this book will be especially useful for industrial
fisheries who deal with wild capture fishing and aquafarming and
scientists and engineers working on post-capture processing stages.
Details on the application of nanochitosan as an effective delivery
of vaccines, hormones, vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants,
biological active constituents and their wider application for the
protection and management of farm animals and fishes against
disease-causing pathogens are provided.
Engineering Principles, Modelling and Economics of Evaporative
Coolers covers the basic engineering and technical principles
behind the operation and construction of evaporative coolers, also
highlighting challenges. The book presents the reader with selected
case studies on modelling in the cooling chamber and explains the
economic implications an evaporative structure can bring. Edited by
a team of specialists, the book also explains the strong dependence
of the technology's performance on environmental conditions, and
hence the limits on temperature control in the preservation of
post-harvest agriculture products. Evaporative coolers are an
ancient technology, invented long before the introduction of
chemical refrigerants as used in modern fridges or cooling towers.
This two volume set covers the topic, with practical applications,
construction techniques, and operation of the technology.
