Download or read book Biocatalysis written by Peter Grunwald and published by Imperial College Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 1052 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers the fundamentals of the field of biocatalysis that are not treated in such detail (or even not at all) in existing biocatalysis books or biochemistry textbooks. It of course does not substitute existing biochemistry textbooks but will serve a suitable supplement as it discusses biochemical fundamentals in connection with the respective topics.With focus on the interdisciplinary nature of biocatalysis, the book contains many aspects of fundamental organic chemistry and some of inorganic chemistry as well, which should make it interesting not only for biochemistry but also for chemistry students. An important theme being emphasized in the book is that applied biocatalysis is one of the main prerequisites for a sustainable development.The topics covered ranges from basic enzyme chemistry (biosynthesis, structure, properties, interaction forces, kinetics) to a detailed description of catalytic mechanisms. It covers the fundamentals of the different enzyme classes together with their applications in native and in immobilized state or in the form of whole cells in aqueous as well as non-conventional media. Topics such as catalytic antibodies, nucleic acid catalysts, non-ribosomal peptide synthesis, evolutionary methods, and the design of cells are also included.

Download or read book Natural Flavors and Fragrances written by Carl Frey and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of synthetic organic chemistry techniques in the early 19th century the world of synthetic F&F materials began and expanded, but it has not totally replaced natural F&F. A growing segment of the public prefers natural foods to foods containing artificial additives, and will pay a premium for natural foods. While modern synthetic methods permit the economical production of artificial F&F on a large scale, the natural F&F industry remains important. Why is this so? How do the chemical, biological, and agricultural sciences support the natural F&F industry? What is the state of current natural F&F research? These are questions this volume attempts to address. Even considering only the value of F&F derived from essential oils, natural F&F constitute approximately a $2 billion annual business. The impact of F&F is best appreciated when you consider that a flavor or fragrance typically contributes only a very small part, both in cost and volume, to a finished product. Many analytical tools available do not have a detector that is as sensitive to taste or odor as a human (or many animals for that matter). The challenge for researchers is to sift F&F information from all the data obtained from the various analytical techniques. The intent of this book is to give the reader and appreciation for the many facets of the chemistry, analysis and production of natural flavors and fragrances. It is a field where each one of us who can smell and taste are active participants. New foods, plants, processes, packages and aromas are developed each day. Keeping researchers abreast of the many new facets of the natural F&F field have led to development of this chapter and the ACS symposium that served as the basis of this book.
