Description
Surveys the conversion of agricultural materials for industrial use in materials, polymers, biotechnology, fuel technology, and other applications. Discusses the conversion of biomass to energy, biodegradable and edible films, coatings, drugs, and bioreactive compounds. Also discusses the conversion of vegetable oils, proteins, cellulose, starch, and sugars into usable products. Examines how conversion of agricultural materials will lead to new markets by creating low-cost agricultural commodities for consumers and increased profits for farmers.
