Full Description
The book aims to present a detailed overview regarding the extraction, characterization, modifications, and applications of plant-based biopolymers in different commercial sectors by pinpointing their advantages over conventional synthetic polymers. In this connection, an insight into the unconventional or underutilized plant sources will be explored. In addition, the book will also throw light on the physicochemical, biochemical, mechanical, and extraordinary properties of such biopolymers. Furthermore, the findings of recent research in this field that will help understand the existing limitations of biopolymers, the advanced strategies for overcoming these constraints, and the prospect of their large-scale production is included. Moreover, the significant contributions of other disciplines like biotechnology, nanotechnology, polymer science, and engineering will be discussed. An important section of this book will highlight the present global status of the commercialization, overall acceptance, and prospects of plant-based biopolymers. The post-graduate students, research scholars, faculties, and scientists working in the fields of food science and technology, pharmaceutical technology, biomedical science, environmental science, agricultural science and allied disciplines will benefit from this book.
