Synopsis

Algal-based functional foods have potential health benefits, and their commercial value depends on their application in the food and nutraceutical industries. Algae Biotechnology for Biomedical and Nutritional Applications provides a comprehensive overview of different micro- and macroalgal species, their industrial production processes, and the latest advancements in and applications of algae in biomedical fields.
This book describes advances in the biomedical and nutritional applications of algae achieved during the last decade, identifies gaps in the present knowledge, and proposes research areas for the future. This book covers various aspects of algal biotechnology, from the basics to large-scale cultivation, harvesting, and processing, for a variety of high-value bioproducts. Additionally, it also covers topics such as algal biomaterials, algal medicinal foods, algal production for bio-medicine, as well as applications in pharmaceutical, nutritional, and value-added bioproducts. With contributions from an international array of expert researchers in the field, this book is a comprehensive resource for academics, researchers, postgraduates, graduate students, and industry professionals.
