Biotechnology. Second, Completely Revised Edition, Volumes 1-12 + Index. : Enzymes, Biomass, Food and Feed

Biotechnology Second, Completely Revised Edition Edited by H.-J. Rehm and G. Reed in cooperation with A. Pühler and P. Stadler This fully revised and expanded Second Edition takes into account all recent developments in biotechnology. It is extraordinarily broad in scope, up-to-date, carefully structured and well-balanced. "Biotechnology" considers both basic concepts and widely-differing industrial applications: it is a successful synthesis of theory and practice. Any scientist aiming for success in industrial microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and chemical engineering must turn to "Biotechnology". Volume 9: This volume examines the "classical" aspects of biotechnology: the application of biological principles for the purpose of converting foodstuffs into more palatable, nutritious or stable foods. Four distinct, but related, areas are covered in detail: enzymes, biomass production, food fermentations and feed fermentations. Particular attention is paid to the analytical uses of enzymes. Moreover, food fermentations are treated on a world-wide basis, from pickles to the Korean kimchi. Topics included are: • Production of Enzymes as Fine Chemicals • Nutritional Value of Microbial Biomass • Baked Goods • Baker’s Yeast Production • Carbohydrate-Based based Sweeteners •Wine and Brandy • Brewing • Cheese • Vinegar • Indigenous Fermented Foods • Fermented Feeds and Feed Supplements
