This book explores various nanotechnology applications and their effect on the food industry, innovation and environmental issues. Nanotechnology has had a major impact on the food industry and the environment in recent years – it has increased the nutritional and functional properties of a number of food products, food packaging, food quality, crop protection, plant nutrient management and aided the food industry through the introduction of f...

This book highlights the implications of nanotechnology and the effects of nanoparticles on agricultural systems, their interactions with plants as well as their potential applications as fertilizers and pesticides. It also discusses how innovative, eco-friendly approaches to improve food and agricultural systems lead to increased plant productivity. Further, it offers insights into the current trends and future prospects of nanotechnology alo...

Understanding microbes is vital to the past and future of mankind and our planet. Without microbes life is impossible on the earth. Research and biotechnological applications of microbes is a fascinating field of science and increasing being seen as a mainstream tenet of biology. The present book focus on mycorrhizal fungi promise to promote plant growth, maintain plant health, bio- protection against diseases, production with reduced fertiliz...

Peace is an ultimate quest of the human being. No one wants unrest as there is no pleasure involved in it. Whatever one does, one does to derive pleasure during the process or as an output of the action. The reason for unrest lies in the existence of inequity in society. As could be easily observed in our society, a few people are too wealthy whereas the majority strive for even basic resources. Such a situation has created 'divides' or 'Cente...

Diesel soot emissions adversely affect human health, environment, vegetation, climate change , etc. pressurizing governments to have strict emission standards. This project describes the catalytic control of diesel soot emissions. The performance of perovskite is found most promising over spinel, hydrotalcite, and metal oxides catalysts for soot oxidation. LaCoO3 prepared by co-precipitation shows the best result (oxidizing soot totally at 370...

Diesel engines are preferred system over the gasoline, due to their high fuel efficiency, low-operating cost, high durability and low CO2 emission. However, emissions of NOx and soot as well as CO and HCs from diesel engines are major concern due to severe health and environment effects. Further, Euro-6/Euro-VI standards for light duty/heavy duty vehicles are implemented in Sept. 2014 require additional reduction of 56%/80% in NOx and 10%/67% ...

​Fungal nanobiotechnology has emerged as one of the key technologies, and an eco-friendly, as a source of food and harnessed to ferment and preserve foods and beverages, as well as applications in human health (antibiotics, anti-cholesterol statins, and immunosuppressive agents), while industry has used fungi for large-scale production of enzymes, acids, biosurfactants, and to manage fungal disease in crops and pest control. With the harnessin...
