Polysaccharide research the European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE) : research initiatives and results

This Book Provides An Essential Overview Of The Science Of Polysaccharides. It Both Approaches Polysaccharides As A Polymer Class And Provides Detailed Descriptions Of Most Major Polysaccharides (cellulose, Mannan, Xylan, Chitin-chitosan, Cyclodextrines). Owing To The Multidisciplinary Character Of The European Polysaccharide Network Of Excellence (epnoe), The Book Describes All Main Aspects Of Polysaccharide Science And Technology (biology, Enzymology, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science And Processing). Notations And Concepts Follow A Uniform Format Throughout The Whole Work In Order To Create A Valuable Reference Book On The Field Of Polysaccharide Science. Owing To The Major Importance Of Industry In The Epnoe, Concrete Applications Are Also Described In Detail. Foreword B.
