Nanotechnology Applications in Agricultural and Bioprocess Engineering

"This new volume looks at the current scenario of research and advances of the use of nanotechnology applications in agricultural and bioprocess engineering. The first section deals with the impact of nanotechnology in agricultural engineering, looking at the role of nanomaterials in plant growth and nutrition. It goes on to discuss specific methods and processes for the application of nanotechnology in the development of food products, nutraceuticals, and therapeutics. This includes nanotechnological methods for iron fortification of dairy food, for processing and preservation of meat and meat products, for selective targeting of cancer, and more. The book goes on to discuss the role of nanotechnology in bioprocessing, such as for biofuel production, for wastewater treatment, and as enzymatic nanoparticles for fabrication processes. Illuminating the various nanotechnological applications for agricultural and bioprocess engineering, Nanotechnology Applications in Agricultural and Bioprocess Engineering: Farm to Table is a rich resource for advanced students, faculty, scientists, researchers, and industry professionals in the field of nanotechnology. This book will be further useful to engineering, pharma, and food quality practitioners who need to become familiar with updated information pertaining to their work"--
