Description
Functional carbohydrates have low or moderate energy and health-promoting effects. They are greatly favored in a variety of areas, such as food, pharmaceuticals, feed, and agriculture. The low-cost and high-yield manufacturing of functional carbohydrates is a prerequisite for their widespread application. Compared to extraction and chemical methods, biomanufacture dominates the production of functional carbohydrates, and there have been continuous innovations and technological progress over the last decades.
Biomanufacture of Functional Carbohydrates provides the systemic introduction of biomanufacture of ten functional carbohydrates. Each chapter introduces the function and application of a functional carbohydrate, and then focuses on the recent advancements of the enzymes and catalytic pathways associated with its biosynthesis. It provides detailed information on the structure and function, molecular modification, and preparation of the relative enzymes and the strategies of preparation of the functional carbohydrates catalyzed by single or complex enzymes and discusses the characteristics of different strategies. The microbial fermentation methods for producing some functional carbohydrates, including details about construction and regulation of recombinant strains, are also described. In addition, this book provides suggestions for future research in the biomanufacture of functional carbohydrates.
Features:
- Presents detailed information of enzymes used for preparation of the functional carbohydrates
- Focuses on the structure and function, molecular modification, and preparation of the relative enzymes
- Introduces strategies of preparation of the functional carbohydrates catalyzed by single or complex enzymes
- Compares the characteristics of different strategies
Readers will gain timely and comprehensive knowledge of the emerging science and technology around biomanufacture of functional carbohydrates and how to select, acquire, and use the appropriate enzymes to produce functional carbohydrates and advance the benefits of human life.
