Biomanufacture of Functional Carbohydrates [Kõva köide]

Biomanufacture of Functional Carbohydrates provides the systemic introduction of biomanufacture of 10 functional carbohydrates. Each chapter introduces the function and application of a functional carbohydrate, then focuses on the recent advancements of the enzymes and catalytic pathways associated with its biosynthesis.

Functional carbohydrates have low or moderate energy, and health-promoting effects. They are greatly favored in a variety of areas, such as food, pharmaceutical, feed, agriculture. The low-cost and high-yield manufacturing of functional carbohydrates is a prerequisite for their widespread application. Compared to extraction and chemical methods, biomanufacture dominates the production of functional carbohydrates, and there have been continuous innovation and technological progress over the last decades.

Biomanufacture of Functional Carbohydrates provides the systemic introduction of biomanufacture of 10 functional carbohydrates. Each chapter introduces the function and application of a functional carbohydrate, then focuses on the recent advancements of the enzymes and catalytic pathways associated with its biosynthesis. It provides the detailed information of the structure and function, molecular modification, and preparation of the relative enzymes, the strategies of preparation of the functional carbohydrates catalyzed by single or complex enzymes and discusses the characteristics of different strategies.
