Description
This book describes and explains virtually the whole range of techniques employed by biotechnologists in the processing of biological materials in the research laboratory and in industry. Starting with an in-depth explanation of the fundamental principles involved in the extraction or production of useful substances from biomaterials, the author goes on to describe a variety of specific process types in detail, using examples and illustrations from industrial situations. As with the author's earlier book in this series "Fermentation Biotechnology", the text is clearly written and up-to-date. It will be an essential guide to this important subject for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students and will also be of use to those already in the biotechnology industry who need to update their knowledge.
