Carbohydrates as organic raw materials III : developed from a workshop organized by the Carbohydrate Research Foundation Wageningen, the Netherlands November 28-29, 1994 / edited by Herman van Bekkum, Harald Röper, Fons Voragen
Carbohydrates as Organic Raw Materials III; Contents; 1 Utilization of cell wall polysaccharides from cereal by-products and beet pulp; 2 Starch: present use and future utilization; 3 Metal-catalyzed oxidation and reduction of carbohydrates; 4 Production and use of insulin: Industrial reality with a promising future; 5 Lactose: its manufacture and physico-chemical properties; 6 Raw materials for fermentation; 7 Lactic acid production and utilization; 8 Starch and dextrins in emulsion copolymerization; 9 Synthesis of new 'Saccharide polymers' from unsaturated monosaccharides
Summary
This volume is the continuation of a successful book series devoted to an increasingly vital subject: the utilization of carbohydrates as chemical raw materials. Sixteen contributions present an overview of current research thereby covering several new topics which were not dealt with in the preceding volumes:. - production and use of inulin. - lactose: its manufacture and physico-chemical properties. - lactic acid production and utilization. - bulking agents: polydextrose. - alkyl polyglucoside, a carbohydrate-based surfactant. As more than sixty percent of the authors come from industry, thi
