Natural compounds obtained from plants represent a tremendous
global market due to their use as food additives, cosmetics, in
agriculture and in pharmaceuticals. This book provides up-to-date
information on various strategies and methods for producing
compounds of interest. Leading researchers discuss the latest
advances in environmentally friendly natural compound production
from plants, making the book a valuable resource for
biotechnologists, pharmacists, food technologists and researchers
working in the medical and healthcare industries.
This book discusses cancers and the resurgence of public interest
in plant-based and herbal drugs. It also describes ways of
obtaining anti-cancer drugs from plants and improving their
production using biotechnological techniques. It presents methods
such as cell culture, shoot and root culture, hairy root culture,
purification of plant raw materials, genetic engineering,
optimization of culture conditions as well as metabolic engineering
with examples of successes like taxol, shikonin, ingenol mebutate
and podophylotoxin. In addition, it describes the applications and
limitations of large-scale production of anti-cancer compounds
using biotechnological means. Lastly, it discusses future
economical and eco-friendly strategies for obtaining anti-cancer
compounds using biotechnology.
This book provides the latest information about hairy root culture
and its several applications, with special emphasis on potential of
hairy roots for the production of bioactive compounds. Due to high
growth rate as well as biochemical and genetic stability, it is
possible to study the metabolic pathways related to production of
bioactive compounds using hairy root culture. Chapters discuss the
feasibility of hairy roots for plant derived natural compounds.
Advantages and difficulties of hairy roots for up-scaling studies
in bioreactors are included as well as successful examples of hairy
root culture of plant species producing bioactive compounds used in
food, flavors and pharmaceutical industry. This book is a valuable
resource for researchers and students working on the area of plant
natural products, phytochemistry, plant tissue culture, medicines,
and drug discovery.
This book highlights the advances in essential oil research, from
the plant physiology perspective to large-scale production,
including bioanalytical methods and industrial applications. The
book is divided into 4 sections. The first one is focused on
essential oil composition and why plants produce these compounds
that have been used by humans since ancient times. Part 2 presents
an update on the use of essential oils in various areas, including
food and pharma industries as well as agriculture. In part 3
readers will find new trends in bioanalytical methods. Lastly, part
4 presents a number of approaches to increase essential oil
production, such as in vitro and hairy root culture, metabolic
engineering and biotechnology. Altogether, this volume offers a
comprehensive look at what researchers have been doing over the
last years to better understand these compounds and how to explore
them for the benefit of the society.

Peptide and Protein Drug Delivery Using Polysaccharides offers an
interdisciplinary discussion of polysaccharides applied in peptide
and protein drug delivery. Chapters consider basic biology of
different polysaccharides of current interest and their production
at pilot and large-scale stages by various techniques including,
but not limited to, cell and hairy root cultures. Other sections
examine factors affecting polysaccharide absorption, metabolism,
and excretion in nascent, encapsulated, or conjugated forms, with
unique coverage of vaccine absorption, metabolism, and drug
delivery. A final section considers analytical methods for
detection in tissue fluids and homogenates. Accessible figures,
tables, and graphical abstracts are included throughout to support
understanding. Specific polysaccharides discussed for therapeutic
purposes include cellulose, hyaluronic acid, heparin, carageenan,
alginic acid, agar and myrrh, acacia, tragacanth, ghatti gum,
chitin, chitosan, starch, glycogen and dextran.
