Enzymes in Human and Animal Nutrition: Principles and Perspectives

Enzymes in Human and Animal Nutrition is a detailed reference on enzymes covering detailed information on all relevant aspects fundamental for final use of enzymes in human and animal nutrition. Topics explored include selection, engineering and expression of microbial enzymes, effects of probiotics on enzymes in the digestive tract, potential new sources of enzymes, valorization of plant biomass by food and feed enzymes. Economics and intellectual property issues are also examined. Examines the role of enzymes in nutrition and in the production of food and animal feed so that food industry and academic researchers can understand applications of enzymes in the health of humans and animalsBegins with a thorough overview of selection, engineering and expression of microbial enzymesExamines extremophile organisms as a potential new source of enzymesIncludes discussion of analytics, economics and intellectual property to increase applicability of the rest of the book outside of the lab INDICE: I - Preface II - Introduction II - Economics of food and feed enzymes: status and perspectives IV - Selection, engineering and expression of microbial enzymes V - Potential new sources for selection of enzymes - extremophile organisms VI - Phytases VIa - General aspects VIb - Human food VIc - Animal feed VId - Protective role of phytates - High levels of food/feed phytase and the protective role of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) Vie - Perspectives of phytases in nutrition, biocatalysis and soil stabilisation VII - Depolimerisating enzymes VIIa - General aspects VIIb - Laccases and peroxydases VIIc - Amylases VIII - NSP Enzymes VIIIa - General aspects VIIIb - Human food - bakery, dairy products, drinks (fruit juices, wine, beer, distilling industries) VIIIc - Animal feed VIIId - Perspectives of NSP enzymes in nutrition IX - Proteases IXa - General aspects IXb - Human food IXc - Animal feed X - Other Enzymes Xa - General aspects and potential applications Xb - Enzymes as therapeutic agents - enzyme deficiencies, anti-allergy, phytobezoars, etc. Xc - Small groups of enzymes (aspartic proteases, lipoxygenases, etc.) XI - Negative impact of enzymes on immunity - allergy XII - Degradation of contaminants XIII - Small groups of enzymes (aspartic proteases, lipoxygenases, etc.) XIV - Direct fed microbials (probiotics) and enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract XV - Formulation of enzymes XVI - Analytical of enzymes XVII - Toxicology of some enzyme derivatives XVIII - Intellectual Property on selection, expression and production of enzymes XIX - Registration of enzymes in the European Union and USA XX - General perspectives of enzymes towards environment preservation and more and more scarce natural resources XXI - Conclusions
