Outline:
Provides thorough coverage of the chemical analysis, structure, and functional properties of carbohydrates Highlights the significance of carbohydrates in diet Discusses both chemical and biochemical analytical methods Includes new and updated information in nearly every chapterAbout the Editor Ann-Charlotte is Professor in Cereal Technology at the Department of Food Technology, Engineering, and Nutrition at Lund University, Sweden. She is the co-author of more that 125 research papers in the field of starch and cereal technology. Her current research interest is in the field of physico-chemical properties of cereal components and their relation to product quality, including sensoric as well as nutritional qualities. Dr. Eliasson received the G.W. Scott-Blair Memorial Award 1998 by the Rheological Division, American Association of Cereal Chemists, and is a member in ISI's database Highly Cited Researcher. Continuing in the tradition of its well-received predecessor, Carbohydrates in Food, Second Edition provides thorough and authoritative coverage of the chemical analysis, structure, functional properties, and nutritional relevance of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides used in food.
