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.

You can always find the postage cost and estimated delivery date in a seller’s listing. You'll then be able to see a full list of delivery options during checkout. These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
