Pigments from Microalgae Handbook, Fester Einband

Klappentext

Based on the success of the first edition, Pigments from Microalgae Handbook -- Second Edition, Volume III: Industrial and Functional Applications is the final volume of a comprehensive three-volume series that captures the transition from cutting-edge microalgal pigment science to real-world innovations across consumer-driven industries. Fully updated and expanded, this volume bridges laboratory discoveries with practical applications across the food, feed, health, and cosmetic sectors.

Each chapter in this fully revised volume explore the incorporation of microalgal pigments---such as chlorophylls, carotenoids, and phycobiliproteins---into smart packaging, functional foods, 3D printing, animal nutrition, and dermo-cosmetic formulations. A particular emphasis is placed on bioactivities related to chronic disease prevention, cognitive health, vision support, and weight management. The volume also addresses consumer acceptance, regulatory challenges, and innovation strategies, providing actionable insights for advancing natural colorants in global markets.

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.
