Lactose-Derived Prebiotics: A Process Perspective is the first scientific reference to provide a comprehensive technological overview of the processes to derive oligosaccharides from dairy for use in functional foods. With their combined 90+ years in industry and research, the authors present the functional properties of prebiotics derived from lactose and the production technology required to make them. The book focuses on process engineering and includes an overview of green chemistry processes involving enzyme biocatalysis, providing detailed coverage of the use of whey lactose as raw material for producing oligosaccharides. The book's focus on processes and products allows the reader to understand the constraints and impacts of technology on lactose-derived prebiotics.

Presents the challenges of and opportunities for deriving oligosaccharides from lactose Details the technologies and methods required to produce lactose-derived prebiotics, including a comparison between chemical and enzymatic synthesis Discusses the potential use of whey as a raw material for the synthesis of non-digestible lactose-derived oligosaccharides Provides a process engineer perspective and includes valuable information about kinetics and reactor design for the enzymatic synthesis of lactose-derived oligosaccharides

Enzymatic Production of Oligosaccharides: From Basic Research to Industrial Production, a volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series, covers the enzymes used for the extraction, synthesis, or modification of oligosaccharides, the biochemical properties of those enzymes, and potential technological applications. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which shares the fundamentals on the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides. The book then explores the enzymatic production of oligosaccharides, considering a range of different oligosaccharides and production processes. Final sections cover the technological properties of oligosaccharides and potential applications across the chemical, biochemical, biotechnology, and food industries.This is a useful reference for researchers working with oligosaccharides across biochemistry, enzymology, biotechnology, food chemistry and related fields.

Focuses on a range of different oligosaccharides, including chito-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides and lactulose-derived oligosaccharidesIncludes various production processes of oligosaccharides, such as enzymatic production and microbial productionAnalyzes enzyme reactors used for oligosaccharides synthesisDiscusses the downstream processing of oligosaccharides for product separation and purificationConsiders food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutic applications of oligosaccharides

Enzyme biocatalysis is a fast-growing area in process biotechnology that has expanded from the traditional fields of foods, detergents, and leather applications to more sophisticated uses in the pharmaceutical and fine-chemicals sectors and environmental management. Conventional applications of industrial enzymes are expected to grow, with major opportunities in the detergent and animal feed sectors, and new uses in biofuel production and human and animal therapy.

In order to design more efficient enzyme reactors and evaluate performance properly, sound mathematical expressions must be developed which consider enzyme kinetics, material balances, and eventual mass transfer limitations. With a focus on problem solving, each chapter provides abridged coverage of the subject, followed by a number of solved problems illustrating resolution procedures and the main concepts underlying them, plus supplementary questions and answers.

Based on more than 50 years of teaching experience, Problem Solving in Enzyme Biocatalysis is a unique reference for students of chemical and biochemical engineering, as well as biochemists and chemists dealing with bioprocesses.

Contains: Enzyme properties and applications; enzyme kinetics; enzyme reactor design and operation 146 worked problems and solutions in enzyme biocatalysis.

«Hacer poderoso o fuerte a un individuo o grupo social desfavorecido» es la definición que la RAE da al concepto de empoderar. Este poemario es, ante todo, un dispensario de empoderamiento con píldoras de abrazos, empatía y actitud a través de todas las capas de nuestra identidad.Del mismo modo que el planeta que habitamos, nuestra esencia también conlleva distintas capas. Es por ello que Carlos trata de comprender las suyas propias y de abrazarlas. Corteza, manto y núcleo son su recorrido ensalzando entereza y vitalidad.Desde lo más obvio y a veces superficial como el entorno, los presagios o las casualidades hasta lo más profundo e íntimo como la libertad, la ternura o los deseos pasando por la evitación, las dudas y la supervivencia; estamos ante un viaje a nuestro centro.Ante la plumofobia, más exposición; ante el odio, más naturalización. Un texto donde la enseñanza de mostrarnos tal y como somos es la mejor moraleja que podemos obtener.
