    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Carotenoids are one of the most important groups of bioactive compounds in nature. They have been used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries due to their wide range of chemical and biological properties. Currently, industrial use of carotenoids comes from chemical synthesis, but greener and biotechnological engineering approaches for carotenoid production are coming into focus. The public has also become aware of the therapeutic and health benefits of carotenoids, making them an increasingly popular with consumers.

    Carotenoids: Trends and Advances focuses on recent advances in biosynthesis of carotenoids in foods, plants, microorganisms and insects as well as health benefits and therapeutic uses. Advanced production techniques and technologies are focused on, including biotechnological engineering approaches and agricultural methods. Recent approaches for the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of carotenoids are covered infull. The preservation of the bioactivity of carotenoids through encapsulation and biofortification is a major focus, with extensive coverage of green processes. The text provides a comprehensive update for researchers across a wide range of relevant industries interested in the most current advances in carotenoids.
