Not since "Sugar Chemistry" by Shallenberger and Birch (1975) has a text clearly presented and applied basic carbohydrate chemistry to the quality attributes and functional properties of foods. Now in Food Carbohydrate Chemistry, author Wrolstad emphasizes the application of carbohydrate chemistry to understanding the chemistry, physical and functional properties of food carbohydrates. Structure and nomenclature of sugars and sugar derivatives are covered, focusing on those derivatives that exist naturally in foods or are used as food additives. Chemical reactions emphasize those that have an impact on food quality and occur under processing and storage conditions. Coverage includes: how chemical and physical properties of sugars and polysaccharides affect the functional properties of foods; taste properties and non-enzymic browning reactions; the nutritional roles of carbohydrates from a food chemist's perspective; basic principles, advantages, and limitations of selected carbohydrate analytical methods. An appendix includes descriptions of proven laboratory exercises and demonstrations. Applications are emphasized, and anecdotal examples and case studies are presented. Laboratory units, homework exercises, and lecture demonstrations are included in the appendix. In addition to a complete list of cited references, a listing of key references is included with brief annotations describing their important features. Students and professionals alike will benefit from this latest addition to the IFT Press book series. In Food Carbohydrate Chemistry, upper undergraduate and graduate students will find a clear explanation of how basic principles of carbohydrate chemistry can account for and predict functional properties such as sweetness, browning potential, and solubility properties. Professionals working in product development and technical sales will value Food Carbohydrate Chemistry as a needed resource to help them understand the functionality of carbohydrate ingredients. And persons in research and quality assurance will rely upon Food Carbohydrate Chemistry for understanding the principles of carbohydrate analytical methods and the physical and chemical properties of sugars and polysaccharides.

Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII. How rarely is it--more rarely than when, in the midst of the broad Atlantic, vessel meets vessel--that man can ask his heart, "What cheer V and receive for answer, "Alls well." When Julian Ludlow retired to his chamber that night--when the door was closed, and, by the kindly but officious care of Mr. Westwoods valet, he was hurried to bed more rapidly than he desired--he lay awake for upwards of an hour, notwithstanding the exhaustion of illness, and the unusual fatigue. The cry rose up within him--" What cheer?" But the answer never was "Alls well." At one time, it was "Breakers a-head " and at others, the same voice spoke of dangers all around. Every one has felt how different is the aspect of the same facts and circumstances at each varying hour of the day; how differently we look upon our fate and future in the merry morning, in the sunny noon, and in the dull, silent night; and there left alone, with the dim watch-lamp winking in the chimney, almost all that was bright and cheering in the events of that day passed away from Julians eyes like unreal pageants; and nothing but the dark, and the coarse, and the heavy remained. Sometimes he could hardly believe it real; that he had spoken as he had; that Mary had so answered him; that their almost insane love had been breathed to each other; that their hearts had found voice in sounds beyond recal. It seemed a dream--a vision, which could have no truth in it; and yet it came back and back upon him with an awful sense of all its consequences. Was not the love itself rash, mad, hopeless % Had not the avowal of it been wrong, base, ungrateful? "What would Mr. Westwood think--he who had loaded him with kindness--he who had fostered, with such tenderness, his youth, promoted...

Carbohydrates and glycoconjugates play an important role in several life processes. The wide variety of carbohydrate species and their inherent polydispersity and heterogeneity require separation techniques of high resolving power and high selectivity such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (HPCE). In the last decade HPLC, and recently HPCE methods have been developed for the high resolution and reproducible quantitation of carbohydrates. Despite the importance of these two column separation technologies in the area of carbohydrates, no previous book describes specialized methods for the separation, purification and detection of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates by HPLC and HPCE. Therefore, the objective of the present book is to provide a comprehensive review of carbohydrate analysis by HPLC and HPCE by covering analytical and preparative separation techniques for all classes of carbohydrates including mono- and disaccharides; linear and cyclic oligosaccharides; branched heterooligosaccharides (e.g., glycans, plant-derived oligosaccharides); glycoconjugates (e.g., glycolipids, glycoproteins); carbohydrates in food and beverage; compositional carbohydrates of polysaccharides; carbohydrates in biomass degradation; etc. The book will be of interest to a wide audience, including analytical chemists and biochemists, carbohydrate, glycoprotein and glycolipid chemists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, etc. It will also be a useful reference work for both the experienced analyst and the newcomer as well as for users of HPLC and HPCE, graduates and postdoctoral students.
