Sustainable Seaweed Technologies: Cultivation, Biorefinery, and
Applications collates key background information on efficient
cultivation and biorefinery of seaweeds, combining underlying
chemistry and methodology with industry experience. Beginning with
a review of the opportunities for seaweed biorefinery and the
varied components and properties of macroalgae, the book then
reviews all the key steps needed for industrial applications, from
its cultivation, collection and processing, to extraction
techniques, concentration and purification. A range of important
applications are then discussed, including the production of energy
and novel materials from seaweed, before a set of illustrative case
studies shows how these various stages work in practice. Drawing on
the expert knowledge of a global team of editors and authors, this
book is a practical resource for both researchers and businesses
who currently work with macroalgae.
This is a book that has been divided into 9 chapters, including
information on the recovery of highly valuable compounds for
microalgae. The authors of this volume discuss seaweed as a
renewable and globally available feedstock with potential
applications in the food and feed industries, as well as the
agricultural, chemical, or pharmaceutical fields. The chapters
include discussions on a wide range of topics including an overview
of seaweed by-products, Algae and microalgae biorefineries, the
potential use of seaweed by-products in various products and
materials, colour stability, and pigment contents of powdered laver
(Pyropia yezoensis). The text also includes the interactions of the
algae Sargassum muticum with metals as a starting point for the
valorisation of invasive seaweed species, as well as new insights
into the nutrition and functionality of seaweed. Microalgae biomass
as an ingredient to design added value in food products, as well as
seaweed biomass for bioremediation or Ethanol creation are
additional topics.
Advances in Rheology Research has been divided into fourteen
chapters. The renowned authors of this volume discuss current
advances in rheology research for different application fields,
covering theoretical and experimental scientific contributions. The
fourteen chapters include discussions on a wide range of
outstanding rheological issues such as rheology and 3D printing;
rheological characterisation of injection grouts using rotational
rheometry; analysis of rheological properties of 100% liquid CO2
based gel fracturing fluid; rheology applied to food product
design; miscibility and viscoelastic properties of
poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) blends; rheology of honey; unusual
nonlinear rheological behaviour of branched polymers: multiple
overshoots in stress growth, experiments and theory; viscosity and
viscoelasticity of baby foods; rheology as an instrument for food
development; using the Laplace transform in rheology kinetic
modeling; design of vibration absorbers using the rheological
properties of viscoelastic materials; a viscoelastic fluid due to a
non-linear accelerating elastic sheet; an MHD boundary layer
viscoelastic fluid flow over a stretching sheet in a porous medium;
and thermal radiation effect on fully developed laminar mixed
convection flow in a vertical porous stratum by using a
differential transform method. All of the above chapters are
intended to contribute the improvement understanding of the
rheological characterization and performance in numerous
application fields from the food to the non-food industries.
