Principles and Applications of Fermentation Technology

The book covers all aspects of fermentation technology such as principles, reaction kinetics, scaling up of processes, and applications. The 20 chapters written by subject matter experts are divided into two parts: Principles and Applications. In the first part subjects covered include: Modelling and kinetics of fermentation technologySterilization techniques used in fermentation processesDesign and types of bioreactors used in fermentation technologyRecent advances and future prospect of fermentation technology The second part subjects covered include: Lactic acid and ethanol production using fermentation technologyVarious industrial value-added product biosynthesis using fermentation technologyMicrobial cyp450 production and its industrial applicationPolyunsaturated fatty acid production through solid state fermentationApplication of oleaginous yeast for lignocellulosic biomass based single cell oil productionUtilization of micro-algal biomass for bioethanol productionPoly-lactide production from lactic acid through fermentation technologyBacterial cellulose and its potential impact on industrial applications
