• Enzymes in the Valorization of Waste: Enzymatic Pretreatment of Waste for Development of Enzyme-based Biorefinery focusses on the role of key delignifying enzymes (laccase, MnP, LiP and LPMOs) involved in biomass pretreatment. The role of enzymes such as hemicellulose, chitinases, and pectinases is discussed exhaustively including enzyme-assisted recovery of high-value phenolic compounds and value-added compounds generated during the pretreatment process. All chapters cover broad topics and thematic areas associated with the pretreatment step of biorefinery including enzyme-mediated water treatment and its associated applications in biofuels, biorefineries, and bioconversion. Features: Highlights a mechanistic approach where the enzyme is able to regulate the delignification. Discusses advantages of enzymatic delignification over other physical and chemical methods. Illustrates role of enzymes such as pectinase and chitinases, and breaking down of biomass recalcitrance due to presence of pectin and chitin. Consolidates details on delignifying enzymes (laccase, MnP, LiP) suitable for biomass pretreatment. Explores role of delignifying enzymes in recovery of high-value phenolic compounds during enzymatic delignification. This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and related industry professionals in biochemical engineering, environmental science, wastewater treatment, biotechnology, applied microbiology, biomass-based biorefinery, biochemistry, green chemistry, sustainable development, waste treatment, enzymology, microbial biotechnology, and waste valorization.
