Beskrivning

Advanced Biophysical Techniques for Polysaccharides Characterization offers detailed insights into the cutting-edge techniques available for the identification, quantification, characterization. and structural analysis of polysaccharides. A wide range of techniques are covered, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical microscopy, non-linear optical microscopy and spectroscopic techniques like Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR), X ray diffraction, light scattering, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Various polysaccharides are investigated, along with their applications across a range of industries. Each chapter offers a detailed description of the techniques before delving into case studies covering the latest advances.

This book provides a one-stop solution to the latest advanced microscopic and spectroscopic techniques for investigating a range of important polysaccharides and is an ideal reference for researchers in the field of biophysics, molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmaceutics, food chemistry and related areas.

Covers a range of biophysical techniques for polysaccharide analysis, including NMR, Dynamic Nuclear Polarization, mass spectrometry approaches, X ray diffraction, light scattering, and TEM techniques
Investigates an array of polysaccharides such as glycogen, xanthan, hyaluronan, and more
Includes an introduction to the sources, types, and benefits of polysaccharide
Considers applications of polysaccharides in various industries, including biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry
