Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta edição, revista e ampliada, da série Biotecnologia Industrial, é uma contribuição de grande importância teórica e prática para os múltiplos temas abrangidos pelo assunto. É uma obra toda ela elaborada por autores nacionais, coordenados por quatro professores de vasta experiência, representando a condição atual dos estudos e aplicações subordinados ao campo que dá o título à série. O estudo da Biotecnologia Industrial não deve ser entendido como apenas uma descrição, mais ou menos pormenorizada, de processos biotecnólogicos de interesse prático. Em que pesem a necessidade e a importância dessa descrição, não é ela suficiente para formar a almejada estrutura mental do futuro profissional. Exatamente dentro desta idéia geral, o presente volume, constituído por 22 capítulos, aborda os aspectos relacionados com a Engenharia dos processos biotecnólogicos, ou seja, a Engenharia Bioquímica, na qual se busca com frequência a mencionada descrição de certas operações necessárias para a condução de um processo, mas igualmente preocupa-se com a abordagem quantitativa dos fenômenos básicos envolvidos, concluindo, quando possível e pertinente, com o dimensionamento da operação. Assim, o leitor encontra, entre outros, capítulos relacionados com as operações de esterilização (de equipamentos, meios de cultura e ar), cinética dos processos fermentativos, modelagem matemática, análise de biorreatores, transferência de oxigênio, ampliação de escala, recuperação de produtos, construção de equipamentos, controle de processo, análise econômica, etc. Cumpre destacar que completam esta Coleção mais três volumes, O Volume 1: Fundamentos é dedicado aos aspectos mais básicos da biotecnologia como a microbiologia, genética, enzimologia, caminhos metabólicos, etc., enquanto que os Volumes 3 e 4 (Volume 3: Processos Fermentativos e Enzimáticos; Volume 4: Biotecnologia na produção de Alimentos) dedicam-se à descrição de importantes processos na produção industrial.
Download or read book Starch Industries written by Marney Pascoli Cereda and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starch Industries: Processes and Innovative Products in Food and Non-Food Uses is the third volume of the "Underground Starchy Crops of South American Origin" book series. Organized in five volumes, this series brings information on the applied level of producing and using starch from a range of plants grown in tropical and subtropical areas that have South American origin. This book presents starch extraction and its food and non-food uses, using large and small industrial processes. The methods and equipment of these technologies are analyzed in detail, so that it is easy to be understood by a diverse public, increasing the visibility of the great potential of use of starchy tubers, rhizomes and roots, and improving processing options. Specifically in processing cassava, which is the only cultivation done on a commercial scale in South America, it is possible to extract starch in industries equipped with equipment, comparable to that of China, Thailand and Vietnam. This title also explores the extraction of smaller starches, such as canna starch, sweet potato and arrowroot from South China, which does not sell starch but transforms it into food paste in small extruders. Edited by a team of experts with a solid background on starch extraction research, the books are aimed at all those involved in research and development, new technological processes, quality control and legislation in the field of starch. Includes information on modified starches, considered the most valued products in the commercial starch portfolio Thoroughly explores small extractors of canna starch, sweet potato and arrowroot from South China, which does not sell starch but transforms it into food paste in small extruders Describes the small, cassava starch fermentation companies that are found in almost all South American countries
