| Summary |
Quite possibly the first comprehensive text on Galactomannans, this book compiles information on industrial galactomannans such as locust bean gum, guar gum, tara gum, fenugreek gum, cassia-tara gum, and Sasbania-bisipinasa gum. Until now, the topic has been generally covered within chapters in books on carbohydrates, particularly the polysaccharides. The book describes how they are currently produced commercially and how they have become industrial commodities. It compares details on the various galactomannan sources and provides a simple and clear introduction to the subject |
