Beskrivning

The transformation of polysaccharides into valuable compounds for health and industry requires the careful application of enzyme protocols and controlled biocatalysis.

Polysaccharide-Degrading Biocatalysts provides a thorough grounding in these biocatalytic processes and their growing role in the depolymerization of polysaccharides, empowering researchers to discover and develop new enzyme-based approaches across pharmaceuticals, fuels, and food engineering. Here, over a dozen leading experts offer a close examination of structural polysaccharides, genetic modification of polysaccharides, polysaccharide degradation routes, pretreatments for enzymatic hydrolysis, hemicellulose-degrading enzymes, biomass valorization processes, oligosaccharide production, and enzyme immobilization for the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, among other topics and related research protocols. A final chapter considers perspectives and challenges in an evolving, carbohydrate-based economy.



  • Describes the role of enzymes in the degradation of polysaccharides to obtain building blocks for biochemical processes
  • Covers new tools for enzymatic evolution, research protocols, and process strategies contributing to large-scale applications
  • Explores the use of polysaccharide hydrolysis products in the areas of pharmaceuticals, fuels, and food engineering
  • Features chapter contributions from international experts

Mer om författaren

Dr. Rosana Goldbeck is presently Associate Professor in the Food Engineering Faculty (FEA) at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). She graduated in food engineering (2005) at the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG), with a master’s degree (2008) and PhD (2012) in food engineering from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), and a part of her PhD was carried out at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). She held a postdoctoral degree at the Brazilian Laboratory of Bioethanol Science and Technology (CTBE) at the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM). Her experience is mainly in the area of biotechnology and bioengineering with emphasis in fermentative processes, production and purification of enzymes, cloning and expression of heterologous proteins, enzymatic hydrolysis, production of biofuels (bioethanol), and other value-added products (xylooligosaccharides) from agro-industrial residues. Dr. Patrícia Poletto is Full Research Professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis—Brazil, and a collaborating researcher at the Biological Engineering Laboratory focused on fermentative and enzymatic processes. Patrícia completed her bachelor’s degree in food engineering (2007) and her PhD in biotechnology (2015) in the area of production and recovery of by solid-state fermentation. She has been working on chemical, fermentative, and enzymatic methods to convert agro-industrial residues mainly into oligosaccharides.

Recensioner i media

“...important for both human health and the development of green biofuels and biomaterials…. [this book] is intended for research scientists either actively engaged in or considering the study of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes or their optimization for bioprocessing applications,…. [and] its approach and style are appropriate for students as well…. The breadth of subject matter covered is impressive, ranging from mathematical modeling of enzyme-catalyzed polysaccharide hydrolysis to the future prospect of a carbohydrate-based economy. The illustrations complement the text,…. A pleasant read, even for non-experts…. [It] is a thorough, yet surprisingly concise resource on a topic of interest to students and scientists working in the academic and industrial sectors. It is easy to envision using the book for a survey course on polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzymes and their applications." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Peter J. Kennelly, PhD (Virginia Tech)
