This book covers all the aspects of food-grade enzymes, including their
classification, kinetics, microbial production, biosynthetic pathways,
commodity-wise industrial applications, and downstream processing
strategies. The broad focus of this book is on the application of
various classes of enzymes in dairy, fruits and vegetables, cereals and
oilseeds, meat and poultry, and brewing and food packaging industries.
Certain recent areas such as nanotechnological perspective in enzyme
immobilization, infusion strategies as well as its efficient usage in
food packaging and preservation are some of the salient highlights of
this book. This book also discusses the aspects related to application
of enzymes in functional food development and shelf life extension of
various commodities food products.
This book is beneficial for researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and
industry experts in broad disciplines such as food processing, food
biotechnology, food microbiology, biochemistry, agriculture,
biotechnology, biochemical engineering, and bioprocess technology.
