Marine Biochemistry: Isolations and Techniques

This book provides the latest comprehensive methods for isolation and  other novel techniques for marine product development. Furthermore, this  book offers knowledge on the biological, medical, and industrial  applications of marine-derived medicinal food substances.

There  has been a tremendous increase in the products derived from marine  organisms for commercial application in industries every year.  Functional foods of medicinal value are particularly in demand as new  technology allows the stabilization of natural ingredients and their  availability in pure forms to solve various human diseases. Marine flora  and fauna have essential elements and trace minerals that nurture  various hormones produced in the endocrine system to regulate the  respective metabolisms, thereby providing a safe and healthy life to  humans.

The overall presentation and clear demarcation of the  contents by worldwide contributions is a novel entry point into the  market of medicinal foods from the sea. The exploration of marine  habitats for novel materials are discussed throughout the book.

The  exploration and exploitation of the biochemistry of sea flora and fauna  are limited, and this book extends the research possibilities into  numerous marine habitats.

Various approaches for extracting and  applying the flora and fauna are discussed. This book will be of value  to researchers, marine biotechnologists, and medical practitioners, due  to the vast information, as well as industrial and medical applications  of marine substances all in one place.
