Biocatalysis and Biotechnology for Functional Foods and Industrial Products, is composed of selected papers presented at the “International Symposium on Biocatalysis and Biotechnology,” held October 2005, at the National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan, making it the most current compendium available on functional foods and industrial products through bioprocesses. Divided into two sections, this book covers the latest applications for enzyme catalysis, biotransformation, bioconversion, fermentation, genetic engineering, and product recovery. The first section presents information on functional food research including health food, nutritional supplements, and nutraceuticals. The second section is devoted to industrial applications such as biodegradable industrial lubricants, and the stabilization of living microbial biological control agents for insecticides.
