Carbohydrates play an important role in many biological and
biochemical processes, including the fertilisation, cell
differentiation and maturation, protein folding and degradation.
Carbohydrate polymers covers the study and exploitation of
carbohydrate polymers which have current or potential industrial
application in areas such as food, textiles, paper, wood,
adhesives, biodegradables, biorefining, pharmaceuticals, and oil
recovery. This book focuses on recent developments on
carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) applications in the biomedical,
biological and biotechnological fields. Furthermore,
polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates that are made up chains
of monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds. This book
reviews the literature on fibres spun from several polysaccharides
and fibre spinning techniques, including both conventional fibre
spinning methods and electrospinning. Resulting fibre properties
and prospective applications are discussed. This book also reviews
research on polysaccharide film-formation and characteristics,
analysed mechanical and barrier properties of polysaccharide-based
films, summarises applications of polysaccharide films in food
products and makes conclusions as to the status of polysaccharide
films and their future developmental direction. Other chapters in
this book examine the pathways leading to the production of
bioactive oligosaccharides that have biotechnological applications.
The current progress in the development of marine carbohydrates
into nutraceuticals and their applications are explored as well.
