Biotechnology for Agro-Industrial Residues Utilisation, 2009 Utilisation of Agro-Residues

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Singh-Nee Nigam Poonam, Pandey Ashok

Couverture de l’ouvrage Biotechnology for Agro-Industrial Residues Utilisation

Residues from agriculture and the food industry consist of many and varied wastes, in total accounting for over 250 million tonnes of waste per year in the UK alone. Biotechnological processing of these residues would allow these waste products to be used as a resource, with tremendous potential. An extensive range of valuable and usable products can be recovered from what was previously considered waste: including fuels, feeds and pharmaceutical products. In this way Biotechnology can offer many viable alternatives to the disposal of agricultural waste, producing several new products in the process.

This book presents up-to-date information on a biotechnology approach for the utilisation of agro-industrial residues, presenting chapters with detailed information on materials and bioconversion technology to obtain products of economic importance:

  • The production of industrial products using agro-industrial residues as substrates
  • The biotechnological potential of agro-industrial residues for bioprocesses
  • Enzymes degrading agro-industrial residues and their production
  • Bioconversion of agro-industrial residues.

Written by experts in Biotechnological processing of Agro-Industrial Residues, this book will provide useful information for academic researchers and industry scientists working in biotechnology, waste management, agriculture and the food industry.
