Industrial galactomannan polysaccharides / N.K. Mathur. - 1 online resource (xxi, 165 pages)
ch. 1. General introduction to carbohydrates -- ch. 2. Galactomannan polysaccharides -- ch. 3. Hydrocolloids or gums -- ch. 4. Interactions of galactomannans -- ch. 5. Rheology of hydrocolloids -- ch. 6. Derivatization of polysaccharides -- ch. 7. Guar gum : the premium galactomannan -- ch. 8. Locust bean gum, or carob gum -- ch. 9. Fenugreek gum : the new food galactomannan -- ch. 10. Tara gum : an exclusive food additive with limited production -- ch. 11. Cassia tora gum : an emerging commercial galactomannan -- ch. 12. Miscellaneous, less common galactomannans and glucomannans.
Quite possibly the first comprehensive text on galactomannans, Industrial Galactomannan Polysaccharides compiles information on their industrial uses in the form of gums including locust bean, guar, tara, fenugreek, cassia-tara, and Sesbania-bisipinasa varieties. The book describes how galactomannans are currently produced commercially and how they have become industrial commodities. It provides a simple and clear introduction to these vital substances, it compares their various sources.HighlightsGeneral chapters on carbohydrates, hydrocolloids and associated rheology, interactions of galactomannans, and derivatization of polysaccharidesA brief history of each product gum, cultivation of the plant sources, seed, habitat, chemical structure, functional properties, manufacturing processes, and applicationsSpecial focus on the most representative galactomannans: guar and locust bean gumsAn in-depth compilation of industrial galactomannans information, this book is designed for the manufacturers, traders, and end users of galactomannans, as well as technologists in polysaccharides-related industries and scientists and academics interested in carbohydrates--
