Subject index. The term fermentation is derived from the Latin verb fervere to boil thus describing the appearance of the action of yeast on extract of fruit or malted grain. The boiling appearance in due to production of CO2 bubbles caused by anaerobic catabolic reaction of sugars present in the extract. Fermentation is the anaerobic conversion of sugar to carbon dioxide and alcohol by yeast or any group of chemical reactions induced by living or nonliving ferments that split complex organic compounds into relatively simple substances. In fermentation a chemical change is brought on by the action of microscopic yeast molds and bacteria. The major groups of commercially important fermentations (1) microbial cells or biomass as products (2) microbial enzymes (3) microbial metabolites recombinant products and (4) products formed by transformation process. Fermentation is expanding beyond the traditional high value low volume compounds such as pharmaceuticals and is beginning to compete with traditional synthetic production of commodity chemicals. As fermentation moves into lower value higher volume chemicals it becomes necessary to maximize efficiency and minimize costs and waste byproducts to compete effectively against traditional options. Achieving these goals means approaching the design of fermentation and downstream separations as a single integrated process. At present applications of computers in fermentation technology is widely used mainly for (1) logging of process data (performed by a data acquisition system comprising of both hardware and software components) (2) data analysis (involved in reduction of logged data by a computer program based on a series of selected mathematical equations. After analysis the results can be printed or stored in a data bank for further use) and (3) process control (performed by a computer program that conveys signals via an interface to pumps valves switches etc.). Fermentation is now becoming an important part of the development of many high value products and is replacing conventional routes for commodity products. The development of a large scale fermentation process includes organism selection metabolic and cellular engineering and introduction of downstream unit operations within a fermentation process. The present book is an attempt to provide overall information to the readers interested in fermentation technology. The book has been designed to provide overall current information on fermentation. 392 pp. Nº de ref. del artículo: 72683
