This fully updated and expanded second edition of a highly popular
text book focuses on the structure and mechanism in carbohydrate
chemistry and biochemistry. Carbohydrates play important roles in
biological systems as energy sources, as structural materials, and
as informational structures (when they are often attached to
proteins or lipids). Their chemical reactivity and conformational
behaviour is governed by mechanistic and stereochemical rules,
which apply as much to enzymic as to non-enzymic reactivity. The
same principles of reactivity and conformation govern changes
brought about in the process industries, such as pulp, paper and
food. Extensively referenced with citations and a detailed index,
the book contains everything the reader needs to know to start a
carbohydrate research project with one of the real strengths being
the treatment and integration of the important physical-chemical
principles and methods (though lead references only are given to
the finer points of carbohydrate synthesis). The book is suitable
for both researchers who are new to the subject and those more
established as well as a readership from diverse backgrounds and
interests, including chemists, biochemists, food scientists and
technologists involved with the processing of polysaccharides in
the paper, textile, cosmetics, biofuels and other industries.
