This book reports on current research to improve the safety and
nutrition of these foods through an elucidation of the microorganisms and
mechanisms involved in their production. Also included are recommendations for
needed research. In developing countries, traditional fermentation serves many
purposes. It can improve the taste of an otherwise bland food, enhance the
digestibility of a food that is difficult to assimilate, preserve food from
degradation by noxious organisms, and increase nutritional value through the
synthesis of essential amino acids and vitamins.

Microalgal Biotechnology
presents an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the microalgae-based
processes and products. Divided into 10 discreet chapters, the book covers
topics on applied technology of microalgae. Microalgal Biotechnology provides an
insight into future developments in each field and extensive bibliography.
This note explains the following topics: Origins of agriculture and plant breeding, The science of genes, Chemicals of
concern, The food industry and regulation of food safety Natural vs. synthetic
chemicals, Pest control, pesticides, and the story of DDT, Organic and
ecological agriculture, Dolly, BST, and transgenic animals, BT insect-tolerant
crops, Future foods and drugs, Ethics and animal rights.
In
an era of interdisciplinary collaboration, the book serves an excellent indepth
text for a broad range of readers ranging from social scientists to students,
researchers and policy makers. Every topic weaves back to the same bottom line:
how does this discovery impact society in a positive way?
New procedures involving direct gene insertion and
manipulation allow for much more rapid selection of desirable traits than older
procedures. These new procedures will be described (Chapter 2) and discussed
with reference to possible concerns related to the production of medical
products (Chapter 3), food safety (Chapter 4), environmental issues (Chapter 5),
and animal welfare (Chapter 6).
