Whey Valorization: Innovations, Technological Advancements and Sustainable Exploitation (乳清價值化：創新、技術進步與可持續利用)

本書專注於透過對乳清分子組成的深入分析來開發乳清。乳清可以提供多種有價值的化合物，如乳糖、蛋白質和肽。本書涵蓋了乳清的生物技術處理，包括生化和酶處理以及微生物轉化，並探討了各種高價值產品的生產，如生物乙醇、甘油、生物塑料（PLA）、細菌素、外多醣、細菌多醣（PHA、PHB、黃原膠）、單細胞蛋白、益生菌、生物活性肽、有機酸（乳酸、丁酸、醋酸）、酶和生物氣體，這些都是通過乳清的微生物轉化所產生的。本書還探討了乳清在不同食品產品中的應用，如乳清粉、濃縮乳清、抹醬以及各種基於乳清的飲料，包括發酵飲料。近期在功能性碳酸乳清飲料中的趨勢、機會和挑戰也有討論。

與現有的乳清利用文獻不同，本書專注於乳清的增值、技術進步和可持續生物轉化。本書還涉及膜處理、可持續方法、生物技術潛力、綠色技術和生物塑料的生產。此外，本書提供理論和實踐信息，以展示乳清作為副產品的各種增值方面。本書以其環保的理念，正是當前的需求。《乳清增值：創新、技術進步與可持續開發》將成為研究人員、乳品技術專家、食品技術專家、學生及專業人士在可持續和有效利用食品及乳製品廢棄物和副產品方面的重要資源。
