Advances in Plant Biotechnology: A Comprehensive Guide

By Alma Anglica Del Villar-Martnez, Advances in Plant Biotechnology aims to integrate the latest knowledge on tissue culture, secondary metabolites production under controlled conditions, scaling up to produce them at bioreactor level, and their industrial applications. The book delves into the biosynthetic pathways and the factors that affect them and the accumulation of metabolites, including metabolomics in medicinal plants, as key components. It also reviews several extraction and encapsulation technological procedures, providing detailed information on the structure and function of metabolites from selected commercial crops. Finally, it addresses items of paramount importance, such as bioavailability and stability of metabolites in pharma and food products.

Key Features

• Strategies for obtaining selected metabolites through in vitro culture
• Application of biotechnological and bioengineering principles to the management of plant metabolites
• Description of the encapsulation of selected metabolites
• Bioavailability and stability of metabolites in pharma, food, and industrial sectors

Target Audience

This book is primarily aimed at research scientists, technical staff, and private and public organizations involved in plant biotechnology and its processing industries. It is also an invaluable resource for students at all levels and postdoctoral researchers, with all editors and authors providing special attention to ensure clarity and engagement.
