Industrial Enzymes and Their Applications / Edition 1

by Helmut Uhlig

Overview

* Ein maßgebender Katalog technischer Enzyme, ihrer Charakteristika und industriellen Verwendung.

* Durch die leicht verstandliche Einfuhrung zu jedem Kapitel sowie die Beschreibung der technischen Enzyme ist dieses Werk auch fur Neulinge auf diesem Gebiet mit fehlendem wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund bestens geeignet.

* Enthalten sind Informationen uber konkurrierende Enzymprodukte, so da? der Leser aufgrund dieses Wissens Enzyme fur bestimmte Zwecke auswahlen kann.

* Sehr praxisorientiert, mit mehr als 100 Abbildungen, die genau zeigen, wie Enzymcharakteristika entwickelt werden. In jedem Kapitel finden sich zum besseren Verstandnis der technischen Seite Fließdiagramme.

* Spezielle Kapitel fur die Leder, Back-, Saft- und Weinindustrie (Die wichtigsten Verbraucher industrieller Enzyme); einschließlich einem geschichtlichen Abri? uber die Verwendung von Enzymen in der Industrie

* Außerdem enthalten: Gesetzesvorschriften zum Einsatz industrieller Enzyme. (01/98)

Editorial Reviews

A catalog of enzymes used by industrial product makers as major catalysts to transform raw materials into end products. Includes information on their varied uses, the classes in which they are grouped, and which chemical reagents they have replaced on current mass-production lines. First surveys general enzyme characteristics and their microbiological origins, including the dependence of their activity and stability on pH and temperature. Then examines the most important industrial enzymes in use today, and describes specific applications of technical enzymes in such areas as food processing, beverage production, animal nutrition, leather, and textiles. Addressed to chemists at all levels from beginning students to veterans, and to non-chemists involved in marketing industrial enzymes. Translated and revised from r uns/> published by Carl Hanser, Munich, in 1991. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
