Pigments from Microalgae Handbook: Volume II: Bioprocess Engineering, Smart Extraction Technologies, Omics Tools, and Sustainability-Driven Innovation

Based on the success of the first edition, Pigments from Microalgae Handbook - Second Edition, Volume II: Bioprocess Engineering, Smart Extraction Technologies, Omics Tools, and Sustainability-Driven Innovations is the second of a comprehensive three-volume series offering a cutting-edge reference on the transition from laboratory research to industrial-scale processes in the development of microalgal pigments. Fully updated and expanded, this volume bridges fundamental research with practical challenges, addressing key issues in bioprocess scale-up, extraction efficiency, and the integration of digital technologies in pigment production.

Each chapter in this fully revised volume explore advanced topics such as bioreactor engineering, process intensification, encapsulation, and nanotechnology-enabled recovery systems. Dedicated sections focus on omics-driven strategies, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and environmental impact assessments, responding to the increasing demand for scalable, intelligent, and sustainable bioprocess solutions. Legal, economic, and intellectual property dimensions are also examined, reinforcing the volume's relevance for professionals navigating innovation and regulation in the natural pigment production.

Presented in an accessible and well-organized format, this handbook is an indispensable resource for researchers, academics, and professionals in biochemistry, food chemistry, industrial microbiology, and biotechnology industries seeking to deepen their expertise or drive innovation in microalgal pigment applications.
