A groundbreaking text that
highlights the various sources, applications and advancements concerning
proteins from novel and traditional sources
Novel Proteins for Food, Pharmaceuticals and Agriculture
offers a guide to the various sources, applications, and advancements
that exist and are currently being researched concerning proteins from
novel and traditional sources. The contributors—noted experts in the
field—discuss sustainable protein resources and include illustrative
examples of bioactive compounds isolated from several resources that
have or could obtain high market value in specific markets.
The
text also explores a wide range of topics such as functional food
formulations and pharmaceutical applications, and how they alter
biological activity to provide therapeutic benefits, nutritional values
and health protection. The authors also examine the techno-functional
applications of proteins and looks at the screening process for
identification of bioactive molecules derived from protein sources. In
addition, the text provides insight into the market opportunities that
exist for novel proteins such as insect, by-product derived, macroalgal
and others. The authors also discuss the identification and
commercialization of new proteins for various markets. This vital text:
- Puts the focus on the various sources, applications and advancements concerning proteins from novel and traditional sources
- Contains
a discussion on how processing technologies currently applied to dairy
could be applied to novel protein sources such as insect and macroalgal
- Reviews the sustainability of protein sources and restrictions that exist concerning development
