Exceptional Book-- With One Complaint

Complete, fully updated introduction to biochemical and bioprocess engineering. Reflects powerful advances that are transforming the field, ranging from genetic sequencing to new techniques for producing proteins from recombinant DNA.

Personal Review: Bioprocess Engineering: Basic Concepts (2nd Edition) by Fikret Kargi
After having worked in another industry for a few years, I b ought the book to review and update my knowledge of bioprocess engineering. I am extremely pleased, and recommend it almost without reservation. After an introduction, the next few chapters provide a solid basis in cell biology, incorporating recent advanc es in that field. Part 3 ("Engineering Principles for Bioprocesses") and Part 4 ("Applications to Nonconventional Biological

Systems") appear well laid out an balanced, though I admit I have only scanned those sections. The valuable Appendix describes seve ral "traditional" bioprocesses (roughly meaning processes that were commercial before 1970), presenting the process development history of Penicillin, HFCS, and other products. The small complaint is this. The authors could give more details of available process equipment and fewer derivations of equations for calculations that working Chemical Engineers are never likely to perform. This is true, I'm afraid, of most Chemical Engineering books.
