"""This attractively produced handbook gets down to detail. It is written for teachers and specialists by active researchers, 90% from the US and the Far East, mostly from academic and government research labs, rather than production facilities."" -Tony Kirby, Chemistry & Industry, August 2006 ""The text is well written and could be easily digested by readers of postgraduate level and beyond…contains a number of extremely interesting chapters in areas that are sometimes overlooked in other texts. …This book would make a good addition to research libraries and especially as a personal copy in research groups whose work focuses in biocatalysis, specifically of lipids."" -Andrew D. Brabban, Microbiology Today ""…an excellent overview of market-directed biocatalysis…the breadth of examples employing industrially useful biocatalyses makes this an exciting volume that illustrates the tools and techniques associated with the production of value-added merchandise…highly recommended for any student or professional interested in development and production of applied biocatalytic materials."" -John Williamson, SIM News, Vol. 56, No. 2, 2006 ""…the book covers an area that has not been covered earlier and those interested in industrial biocatalysis - and in green chemistry - will learn a lot from many of the chapters…for those scientists working in the oils and fats industries, or in cosmetics, food and related areas, this compilation of 29 chapters will be an invaluable source of information, particularly from Japanese literature sources."" - Organic Process Research and Development, Vol. 11, No. 3, 2007"
