An expert overview of new technologies guiding the construction
of a sustainable society

This compendium of important insights from sixty distinguished
international scholars looks at the significant advances in
progressive environmental technology--especially the molecular
engineering used on plants, animals, and microorganisms--as
the game changer in the high-stakes race to reverse earth-damaging
practices.

Biocatalysis and Biomolecular Engineering covers subject
matter on the latest developments in eco-friendly and energy-saving
manufacturing processes with the emphasis on agricultural
technology and bio-based products. Focusing its study on remedies
that show promise in curing food and energy ills, this book
examines groundbreaking work in various fields, such as
nutraceuticals, genetic engineering of agricultural products, and
bioenergy. Biocatalysis and Biomolecular Engineering:

* Can be used as a reference by teachers, graduate students, and
industrial scientists who conduct research in bioscience and
biotechnology

* Serves as the first book to bring together fundamentals and
leading-edge technologies for the development of bio-based
industrial products through biocatalysis; for example, it discusses
the preparation of biofunctional micro- and nanoparticles

* Contains chapters by international experts from academia,
industry, and government research institutes

Biocatalysis and Biomolecular Engineering builds a
cohesive, well thought out case for nurturing new discoveries in
eco-technology by inviting critical discussion on devising viable
solutions to sustaining the future wellness of humankind.
