Enzymes in Valorization of Waste: Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Waste for Development of Value-added Products

Enzymes play a vital role in enzymatic hydrolysis of waste for its conversion to useful value-added products. Enzymatic hydrolysis of waste for development of value-added products focusses on the role of key enzymes such as cellulase, hemi-cellulases, amylases, and LMPO’s, used in the hydrolysis step of the biorefinery setup. Further, it discusses the role of enzymes in generation of the reducing sugars and value-added compounds with major emphasis on recent advances in the field. Mechanism, importance, type, evolution and role of enzymes in hydrolysis constitute the crux of this volume illustrated with examples and pertinent case studies. Features: Explores role of hydrolyzing enzymes in breakdown and transformation of biomass hydrolysis. Discusses potential of auxiliary enzyme (LPMO’s) for enhancing hydrolysis potential. Covers recent development in the field of enzymatic assisted hydrolysis of waste for conversion of waste to value added products. Deliberates all possible products that can be generated from enzymatic hydrolysis of waste and their possible utilization. Elucidate the limitations and advantages of enzyme-based hydrolysis and possible strategies for moving from laboratory to the large scale industries. This book aims at Graduate students, Researchers and related Industry Professionals in Biochemical Engineering, Environmental Science, Wastewater Treatment, Biotechnology, Applied Microbiology, Biomass Based Biorefinery, Biochemistry, Green Chemistry, Sustainable Development, Waste Treatment, Enzymology, Microbial Biotechnology, and Waste Valorization.
