The Handbook of Microalgae-Based Processes and Products, 2nd Edition delivers an extensive reference on microalgae biomass processing and product development for engineering researchers in academia and industry. This volume connects technical biological principles directly to scale-up manufacturing methods across diverse industrial contexts, clarifying key operational parameters for applied research settings.
Divided into five structured parts, the text systematically addresses fundamental concepts, cultivation and processing workflows, compounds and applications, engineering and sustainability frameworks, and emerging technologies. The thematic arcs encompass biomolecule recovery and specialized product design, detailing bioactive peptides, polysaccharides, bioplastics, and biofuels. The content further evaluates advanced developments, including microalgal use in cultured meat production alongside photosynthetic materials engineered for biomedical applications.
Edited by Eduardo Jacob-Lopes, Mariana Manzoni Maroneze, Maria Isabel Queiroz, and Leila Queiroz Zepka, this publication provides broad technical direction. The handbook offers a focused resource for engineering professionals in bio-based industries who analyze, design, and operate microalgal production processes.
