Biotechnology of Amylodextrin Oligosaccharides (ACS Symposium Series)

In this insightful volume, world-renowned leaders in the field report on the many facets of a family of naturally derived materials that have the potential to provide an abundant and economic resource for decades to come. The potential utility of this group of substances is addressed in detail and extensive fundamental scientific information is related. Divided into three sections, this volume covers basic biochemical aspects of biotechnology of amylodextrin oligosaccharides, including introductions to genetic engineering, enzyme structure, and enzymology; application of specific, new analytical tools essential to characterize these new types of materials; and specific fields of utility for these polysaccaride biopolymers.
