Infos

Enzymatic Production of Oligosaccharides: From basic research to industrial production provides a detailed overview of the production process of oligosaccharides. It covers the enzymes used for the extraction, synthesis or modification of oligosaccharides, the biochemical properties of those enzymes, and potential technological applications. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which shares the fundamentals on the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides. The book then explores the enzymatic production of oligosaccharides, considering a range of different oligosaccharides and production processes. The final section covers technological properties of oligosaccharides and potential application across the chemical, biochemical, biotechnology and food industries. This book is a volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series and is a useful reference for researchers working with oligosaccharides across biochemistry, enzymology, biotechnology, food chemistry and related fields.

Autor

Dr. Carlos Vera is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology, Universidad de Santiago de Chile. He has published over 40 research articles on the enzymatic production of lactose derived prebiotics, glycosides by transglycosylation and, more recently, the enzymatic production of rare sugars with isomerases. He has also published two books, a book chapter and two patents. Dr. Cecilia Guerrero is Associate Professor at the School of Biochemical Engineering, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile. She has published over 45 publications in ISI WOS journals, two book chapters, two patents and over 60 presentations of congress. Dr. Guerrero’s fields of expertise are the enzymatic synthesis of carbohydrates and rare-sugar with prebiotics effect by transgalactosylation and isomerization reaction with commercial and recombinant enzyme. Dr. Andrés Illanes is a Full Professor of the Biochemical Engineering School and Head of the Biocatalysis Group, Senior Researcher at the Biotechnology Nucleus of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. Dr. Illanes’ fields of expertise are enzyme biocatalysis, enzyme immobilization and bioreactor design. He is author of over 150 publications in ISI WoS journals, several book chapters and editor of three books in enzyme biocatalysis for Wiley, Springer and Academic Press-Elsevier.
