Plant Polysaccharides
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Dec 2010, Pages: 504
The Plant Polysaccharides text is now available. This timely volume provides comprehensive coverage of these most important compounds which are a vital part of all plants' structure, and in energy storage systems. Commencing with a section covering cell wall composition, the book then provides wide coverage of aspects including polysaccharide biosynthesis, supra-molecular structure, and bioengineering. A final section of the book deals with the exploitation of nanoscale phenomena and biological properties of plant polysaccharides, including chapters on their relevance in food ingredient design, dental implant coatings and their properties as anti-cancer agents.
Edited by one of the major research figures in the field, with contributions from many well known and respected workers in the area, Plant Polysaccharides is a volume of great interest to plant scientists including cell and molecular biologists, biochemists and structural biologists. Development personnel involved in food ingredient and pharmaceutical research will also find much of interest. Libraries in all universities and research establishments teaching and researching in life sciences, nutrition, food science and pharmacology should have copies of this important volume on their shelves.
