Book Description
This monograph is aimed at providing researchers new to the subject with information on the structure and mechanisms in the chemistry, biochemistry or processing of carbohydrates. The book contains everything the reader needs to know about a non-synthetic carbohydrate research project. It gives excellent coverage of carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry, particularly including the principles of reactivity in the process industries, such as pulp, paper and food. It also employs use of the same concepts to describe enzymic and non-enzymic reactivity.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“the overall view of the text is favorable, since it covers so many varied topics, some perhaps unfamiliar to even the most seasoned glycoscientists” — Joseph Barchi
“..an invaluable companion and introduction to the primary literature of the field.” — Greig, Buchanan, Williams ―
Crystallography Reviews,“…this is an excellent treatment of carbohydrate chemistry. It belongs in libraries and on the bookshelves of carbohydrate chemists and biochemists.” — D Eric Walters ―
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, Vol 51, No 19“useful addition to the library of individuals with interests in theglycoscience field, as well as students wishing to learn moreabout this area.” — Todd L. Lowary ―
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 130, 30, 10031 – 10034“…the book provides an excellent and authoritative reference resource for beginning and established researchers interested in structural and mechanistic aspects of carbohydrate (biochemistry)” — Frank Schweizer, University of Manitoba ―
