Materials derived from plants, animals, and microbes (bioresources) have been used by human beings, particularly in industries, as valuable and renewable resources. Recently, the resources have been evaluated again for their possibility to an increase in crop production, development of new nutritional foods, alternative of fossil fuels, and the remediation of environmental pollution. This lecture provides students chemical aspects of bioresources as well as their future prospects for industrial applications.
On completion of this course, students attending this lecture are requested to understand the chemical structure and characteristics of bioresources as well as their potential for industrial applications.

Nothing required.
