Complex carbohydrates such as high molecular weight polysaccharides like starch and cellulose are well known for their importance in foodstuffs paper and wood but their importance extends far beyond that into the biopharmaceutical healthcare oil and printing industries. This book based on a discussion meeting organised by RSC Biotechnology and Carbohydrate Groups brings together leading experts from the polysaccharide and glycoconjugate communities to review discuss and assess in detail one specific topic namely the importance of the stability and degradation of carbohydrate structures. Coverage includes applications as diverse as food biopharmaceuticals vaccines biofuels and preservation of Viking boats. Providing essential reading for anyone interested in these structures and the diversity of their applications it will appeal to a broad multidisciplinary group from industry academia and research institutions.Read More
