ISBN: 9780444637741 出版年：2018 页码：494 Elsevier Science_RM

Biomass as Renewable Raw Material to Obtain Bioproducts of High-tech Value examines the use of biomass as a raw material, including terrestrial and aquatic sources to obtain extracts (e.g. polyphenols), biofuels, and/or intermediates (furfural, levulinates) through chemical and biochemical processes. The book also covers the production of natural polymers using biomass and the biosynthetic process, cellulose modified by biochemical and chemical methods, and other biochemicals that can be used in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. Featuring case studies, discussions of sustainability, and nanomedical, biomedical, and pharmaceutical applications, Biomass as Renewable Raw Material to Obtain Bioproducts of High-tech Value is a crucial resource for biotechnologists, biochemical engineers, biochemists, microbiologists, and research銆€students in these areas, as well as entrepreneurs, policy makers, stakeholders, and politicians.Reviews biomass resources and compounds with bioactive propertiesDescribes chemical and biochemical processes for creating biofuels from biomassOutlines production of polysaccharides and cellulose derivativesFeatures applications in the fields of medicine and pharmacy
