Enzymes technologies find an important
place in Biotechnology which has immense
potential for strengthening diverse food
products using vast biodiversity. This helps to
resolve environmental problems caused by
wastes from food and beverages industries.
This book presents the application of
different enzymes in various food and beverage
industries in addition to preventing information
on basics concepts and fundamentals
principles of enzyme technologies and
enzyme engineering. The book also deals with
latest advances in food science technology
with respect to emerging food industries, such
as functional foods, nutraceuticals, probiotics
the use of enzyme inhibitors and enzyme
biotransformation in addition to the use of
enzyme valorization of food and beverage
processing by products and waste.
There are 22 chapters grouped under
four sections. Section I deals with enzyme
basics and development of novel biocatalysts
covered in chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Chapter 1
BOOK REVIEW
presents comprehensive information on
enzymes-their nomenclature, mechanism of
action and kinetics, characteristics and
sources of food-grade enzymes. Chapter 2
deals with enzyme catalysts. Chapter 3
includes a detailed discussion on the use
of quantity and food safety. Chapter 4 deals
with the latest developments and scope of
application of enzyme engineering and protein
modification in food processing.
Section II covers various applications of
enzymes in food and beverage industries in
chapters 5 to 15 including starch processing
industries, bakery industries, confectionary
industries, role of enzymes in oil and lipid
processing, processing of fruit and vegetables
processing of alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages, enzyme applications in the
production of flavours, food additive milk,
cheese and associated dairy products, role of
enzyme in meat tenderization and use of
enzyme technology for the processing of sea
food.
Section III deals with recent advances in
food –grade enzyme biotechnology in
chapters 16-21, like synthesis of novel
functional food ingredients, processing of
nutraceuticals form plant resources,
development of probiotics, prebiotics,
synbiotics and cobiotics an use of enzyme
inhibitors in regulating enzyme processing of
food and beverages.
Section IV comprises chapter 22
which presents the future perspectives of
emerging trends of enzyme applications in
food processing industries.
The contents of this book will cater
to the food science researchers, enzyme
biotechnologists and food and beverages
industries as a reference book for guidance
and a roadmap for taking up research in these
areas. Also this book holds the potential to
leave as a useful text cum reference for
advanced courses in food science
technology, food biotechnology and food
engineering, enzyme biotechnology and food
waste management.
