As the effects of climate change begin to be felt, there has been a shift in focus in the field to renewable resources and sustainability, and an interest in the replacement of oil-based products with greener substitutions. As the push to adopt natural resources grows, there have been significant developments in the research and application of natural colorants as a step in the transition to a bio-based economy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of this popular textbook, \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Natural Colorants\u003c\/i\u003e provides a detailed introduction to natural colorants in a marriage of theory and practice, from seed of plant to consumer demand. Presenting a wide range of viewpoints, the book briefly discusses the history of coloration technology and the current position of natural colorants before highlighting detailed information on regional plant source availability, colorant production and properties, as well as analytical methods for isolation, identification, and toxicity aspects. It also presents key applications in technical use and consumer products, including the use of natural colorants in textiles, hair dyeing, printing, and packaging. Finally, the text considers environmental and economic aspects of natural colorants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandbook of Natural Colorants \u003c\/i\u003ereaders will also find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRevised and updated content throughout to reflect developments in research and applications over the past decade\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew content on biotechnology in natural colorant production, natural colorants for mass coloration polymers, natural colorants in printing\/packaging, and plant-based pigments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrategies for scale up, including consideration of energy, waste, and effluents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandbook of Natural Colorants \u003c\/i\u003eis\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ea useful reference for dyers, textile producers, and researchers in the evolving field of sustainable chemistry, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, and polymer sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Bechtold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119811716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119811718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 1.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Bechtold","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069904744703,"sku":"9781119811718","price":231.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e4cbec2-e529-4b2e-9a99-2598c10ce698.jpg?v=1685427193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/handbook-of-natural-colorants-thomas-bechtold-9781119811718","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
