| Abstract: | Biotechnology ranks among three great technologi-cal
revolutions of this century which include quantum

new and developing field of science although classical
biotechnological applications for the preparation of
food and beverages were known in ancient times. Cur-rent
biotechnology is a multidisciplinary subject involv-ing
interactions with diverse branches of science which
include biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biol-ogy,
organic chemistry and engineering. New knowl-edge
developed in individual disciplines is expanding
the scope of applications of biotechnology. The range
of biotechnology products covers food, chemicals, ag-riculture
and health care. The achievements are spec-tacular
and future is exciting.
This book describes some important contributions
of biotechnology mainly to health care, the area of
utmost importance to tis. Every attempt is made to
make the book understandable without being technical
to the undergraduate students. The objective is to high-light
the impact and scope ofbiotechnology on our well-being. |
