The book covers all aspects of fermentation technology such as principles, reaction kinetics, scaling up of processes, and applications.

The 20 chapters written by subject matter experts are divided into two parts: Principles and Applications. In the first part subjects covered include:



Modelling and kinetics of fermentation technology
Sterilization techniques used in fermentation processes
Design and types of bioreactors used in fermentation technology
Recent advances and future prospect of fermentation technology

The second part subjects covered include:



Lactic acid and ethanol production using fermentation technology
Various industrial value-added product biosynthesis using fermentation technology
Microbial cyp450 production and its industrial application
Polyunsaturated fatty acid production through solid state fermentation
Application of oleaginous yeast for lignocellulosic biomass based single cell oil production
Utilization of micro-algal biomass for bioethanol production
Poly-lactide production from lactic acid through fermentation technology
Bacterial cellulose and its potential impact on industrial applications
