Download or read book Biotransformation of Waste Biomass into High Value Biochemicals written by Satinder Kaur Brar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agro-industrial wastes are end-products emerging after industrial processing operations and also from their treatment and disposal e.g. solid fruit wastes and sludge. The agro-industrial wastes are often present in multiphase and comprise multicomponent. Nevertheless, these wastes are a goldmine as they possess valuable organic matter which can be diverted towards high value products ranging from polymers to antibiotics to platform chemicals. There have been plenty of books published on bioenergy, enzymes and organic acids, among others. However, this emerging field of biochemical has not yet been covered so far which is an important entity of the biorefinery model from waste biomass and needs to be understood from fundamental, applied as well as commercial perspective which has been laid out in this book.
Download or read book Biocontrol written by Satinder Kaur Brar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural and forest pests lead to many plant diseases resulting in poor yield and productivity. Traditionally, chemical pesticides have been used to control these pests. However, the adverse health impacts of chemical pesticides have triggered parallel research in safe biological options. Nevertheless, biocontrol has come a long way ever since the commercialisation of the first Bacillus thuringiensis based biopesticide (sporeine) in the 1940s, however, still there are research gaps. New knowledge and practical experiences have been added over the last few decades. This book reviews research on biological control agents, including bacterial, fungal and viral biopesticides along with their advanced formulation options.
Download or read book Citric Acid written by Dominic A. Vargas and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the synthesis, properties and applications of citric acid. Some of the topics discussed include fungal and yeast production of citric acid; mitochondrial production and applications in food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis of the CuO/CeO2 catalytic system by polymerisation with citric acid; citric acid as a useful tool in artificial enamel formation and regeneration; the impact of citrate on glycolysis in brain tumours and applications of citrus fruits and their extracts for detection of food poisoning caused by bacteria.
Download or read book Polymer Initiators written by Whitney J. Ackrine and published by . This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anionic polymerisation techniques offer powerful methods for the controlled manipulation of macromolecular architecture, and are still today unique for the synthesis of a wide variety of model polymeric materials. This book presents current research data from across the globe in the study of polymer initiators including: advanced organocobalt initiators in radical polymerisation; surface-initiated polymerisation techniques; citric acid and biopolymers; oliogomeric azo-initiators for grafting of polymers on clay surfaces and photopolymerisation.
