Abstract

Plant- and animal-originated biopolymers have many significant advantages due to their high biocompatibility and economical and environmentally benign properties. These biopolymers can compete with synthetic polymers, which are nondegradable and cause environmental pollution. The processes of isolation and characterization are two important methodologies while considering the uses and applications of biopolymers in different fields. This chapter is intended to give an overview on the process of isolation of biopolymers by various physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods and their physiochemical characterization by different analytical tools.
