Downstream processing is an essential practice in the production
and purification of biosynthethic materials, which is especially
important in the production of pharmaceutical products. This book
covers the fundamentals and the design concepts of various
downstream recovery and purification steps (unit operations)
involved in biochemical and chemical processes. The book describes
cell breakage and recovery of intracellular material, isolation of
solids, product recovery, product enrichment, and product polishing
and finishing. It also covers basic chemical engineering
purification techniques such as distillation, absorption,
adsorption, etc. Described in the book are several case studies
that discuss the various unit operation in each of the processes.
An important point to consider is the economics of the downstream
operation, and this book provides practical information on capital
costs and operating expenses in addition to other operating cost
factors with respect to downstream processing. Green chemistry and
safety issues are also addressed. Practicing chemical engineers in
biotechnology and pharmaceutical chemistry and other areas will
find this book valuable as a reference on downstream techniques
used in biological processes. Students in chemical engineering
would benefit from this book as well.
From the laboratory to full-scale commercial production, this
reference provides a clear and in-depth analysis of bioreactor
design and operation and encompasses critical aspects of the
biocatalytic manufacturing process. It clarifies principles in
reaction and biochemical engineering, synthetic and
biotransformation chemistry, and biocell and enzyme kinetics for
successful applications of biocatalysis and bioprocess technologies
in the food, chiral drug, vitamin, pharmaceutical, and animal feed
industries. Studying reactions from small to supramolecules, this
reference provides an abundant supply of end-of-chapter problems to
sharpen understanding of key concepts presented in the text.

This book describes the dietary habits (such as use of probiotics,
synbiotics, prebiotics and dietary fiber) that could modify and
reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). The book
will be of practical and scientific use to academicians, research
scholars, students, health professionals, nutritionists, etc. and
could support the cause of preventing CRC by adopting smarter food
habits. CRC is the third leading cause of death, in terms of both
incidence and mortality, among men and women. Excess consumption of
red and processed meat, roasted coffee, etc. have shown an increase
in CRC, indicating that compounds formed in food containing free
amino acids and sugars interact at elevated temperatures to form
mutagens or carcinogens. Standard treatment options for CRC include
invasive surgery and chemotherapy or radiation. Several lifestyle
and dietary factors could prevent this ailment. Probiotics,
prebiotics and synbiotics that are found in functional foods,
health supplements and nutraceuticals and short chain fatty acids
that are formed in the colon as a result of microbial fermentation
of undigested bioactive carbohydrates by Bifidobacterium and
Lactobacillus inhibit colonic epithelial cells and minimize
inflammation, thereby exhibiting immunomodulatory effects. This
book tries to address the novel unexplored benefits and mechanism
of action of these functional foods.
to Cyclic glucans are polysaccharides that are predominantly
produced by "Agrobacterium, Bradyrhizobium" and "Rhizobium "sp. and
widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In this
book, the applications, properties, analytical tools, production
and genes of four main cyclic -glucans from microorganisms are
highlighted and critically evaluated. As biocompatible and
biodegradable renewable resources, they have an immense potential
for future applications, which has not yet been fully exploited.
This concise review will help to bridge this gap."

Plant extracts or their pure natural constituents have been used
traditionally for thousands of years for treating diseases with
considerable success in India and other Asian countries. In
addition, they have also been used as complements or supplements
with conventional medicine. This book discusses the latest research
in the application of combination therapy, namely herbs and drugs,
in the treatment of a range of communicable and non-communicable
diseases to achieve a synergistic effect. This synergy may help in
reducing the amount of drug, its toxicity, side effects, and
development of resistance as well as improve its efficacy. The book
also discusses the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters,
experimental tools to determine the impact of combination,
computational approaches to identify synergy, statistical analysis
of data, and clinical and regulatory issues. The book is useful for
researchers in the fields of pharmacology, pharmacy and medicinal
chemistry and those working in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical
industries. This book could open up new strategies to focus on
multiple targets to combat complex diseases unlike the single
targeted drugs that are being currently marketed by the
pharmaceuticals industries.
A one-stop Desk Reference, for engineers involved in renewable
energies; this is a book that will not gather dust on the shelf. It

Chemical processes provide a diverse array of valuable products and
materials used in applications ranging from health care to
transportation and food processing. Yet these same chemical
processes that provide products and materials essential to modern
economies, also generate substantial quantities of wastes and
emissions. Green Chemistry is the utilization of a set of
principles that reduces or eliminate the use or generation of
hazardous substances in design. Due to extravagant costs needed to
managing these wastes, tens of billions of dollars a year, there is
a need to propose a way to create less waste. Emission and
treatment standards continue to become more stringent, which causes
these costs to continue to escalate.
This book describes both the science (theory) and engineering
(application) principles of Green Chemistry that lead to the
generation of less waste. It explores the use of milder
manufacturing conditions resulting from the use of smarter organic
synthetic techniques and the maintenance of atom efficiency that
can temper the effects of chemical processes. By implementing these
techniques means less waste, which will save industry millions of
dollars over time.

to modern economies generate substantial quantities of wastes and
emissions, this new book describes both the science (theory) and
engineering (application) principles of Green Chemistry that lead
to the generation of less waste

world, encompassing developments in the field since 2000
