Die biochemische Analyse von trockenem Kokosnusspulver steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches, das sich mit der Isolation und Reinigung von Galaktomannan befasst. Durch den Einsatz biophysikalischer Techniken und der Hydrolyse mit Endomannanase entstehen Manno-Oligosaccharide wie Mannobiose und Mannotriose. Diese Oligosaccharide zeigen im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Präbiotika eine überlegene präbiotische Wirkung sowie potenzielle krebshemmende Eigenschaften, was ihre Bedeutung in der Ernährung und Gesundheit unterstreicht.

The study focuses on xylanases from extremophilic bacteria, highlighting their role as biocatalysts in industrial enzymology. It addresses the challenges of enzyme maintenance and product yield costs by integrating bioinformatics. Through homology modeling, structural similarities and varying active site residue positions were identified. The research reveals the enzymes' multi-substrate activity, with specific amino acids such as Glutamate, Lysine, and Arginine demonstrating effective binding to various ligands, enhancing understanding of enzyme functionality in industrial applications.

Aimed at engineering students, engineers, and technologists of the packaging industry, this book provides the essentials of polymer packaging. It provides the reader with the knowledge and skills to identify and solve problems in packaging processes, and thereby develop functional packaging. Sales and marketing people involved in the packaging industry will also find this a valuable resource. A short primer on polymeric materials and additives is followed by descriptions of the most important production processes for polymer packaging - both continuous and discontinuous. Further chapters cover technology of sealing and different converting processes of packaging webs. The clear, practical informational focus stems from the author's extensive experience in the packaging industries and as an educator.
