White Biotechnology: Strategies for a Sustainable Society

Gupta, M. N.

Filling the need for a reference that introduces all relevant tools and approaches in an integrated fashion, this coherently written book will appeal to all chemists working in industry as well as all those involved in biotechnology.
Following an introduction to white biotechnology and creating a sustainable society, the author goes on to look at biocatalysts, green chemistry, enzymology and the applications of enzymes in industry. There then follow sections on biofuels and biorefineries, polymeric substances, vitamins and antibiotics as well as microwaves and ultrasonics in biotechnology. The final part presents the future outlook with current initiatives from governments and other agencies and emerging trends.
