Oligosaccharides : Food Sources, Biological Roles and Health Implications PDF
Edited by Lori S Schweizer, Stanley J. Krebs
Description
An oligosaccharide is a saccharide polymer containing a small number of component sugars, also known as simple sugars (monosaccharides).
Oligosaccharides can have many functions; for example, they are commonly found on the plasma membrane of animal cells where they can play a role in cell-cell recognition.
This book presents topical research data in the study of oligosaccharides, including the study of human and bovine milk oligosaccharides; the health benefits and commercial applications of prebiotic oligosaccharides; classification of oligosaccharides synthesized by enzymes; oligosaccharides from sucrose via glycansucrases; and the Mannan oligosaccharides in aquaculture.
