Incorporate fermentation into your industrial production chain with this essential volume
Fermentation is a crucial process in a range of industries, from food to pharmaceutical to biotechnological. Its wide range of applications makes it a potentially vital part of the global shift away from fossil fuel-based chemicals in chains of industrial production. However, existing publications on fermentation are seldom fully alert to the industrial and business dimensions of the process, focusing instead on academic questions and largely failing to treat fermentation as a production technology.
Pathway Design for Industrial Fermentation sidesteps this weakness with a comprehensive overview of industrial fermentation, its cost drivers, and its many potential applications. Featuring discussion of a variety of fermentation products, it compares fermentation with processes of natural extraction and biocatalysis, among others, and elaborates its relative strengths. It is rich with insights into the fermentation process for professionals at numerous points in the value chain.
Pathway Design for Industrial Fermentation readers will also find:
- Detailed treatment of fermentation products including methane, ethanol, citric acid, lysine, and more
- Coverage of industrial fermentation processes from metabolic engineering strategies all the way to downstream processing
- An author with decades of experience in industrial fermentation and biochemical technology
Pathway Design for Industrial Fermentation is a useful reference for process engineers, biotechnologists, chemical engineers, and industry professionals working in any industry where fermentation has potential applications.
