Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology

Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Second Edition outlines the principles of biochemical processes and explains their use in the manufacturing of everyday products.

The text covers the major concepts of biochemical engineering and biotechnology, and is an ideal reference for chemical engineering students who need to learn and apply biological knowledge in engineering principles.

The author takes a direct, useful approach in presenting the concepts and practical applications, including many solved problems, case studies, examples, and demonstrations of detailed experiments, with simple design equations and required calculations also included. It is ideal for both those interested in more advanced research in the field of biotechnology, also acting as a guide for beginners seeking direction on establishing research in this field.
