Marine Biochemistry: Applications

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.
