Bioactive carbohydrate polymers
2000
Paulsen, Berit S.
"Bioactive Carbohydrate Polymers is probably the first book dealing with the latest in the field of polysaccharides and related products and their biological activities, especially the immunological effects. The different chapters describe the structure and bioactivity of polysaccharides from plants used in traditional medicine in different parts of the world, especially China, Japan and Europe. The focus of the book is on immunologically active plant and seaweed polysaccharides, pharmacological activities of sulphated polysaccharides of animal and seaweed origin, and on possible activities of polysaccharides in our food.

"It is a hope that this book will be of use for scientists and postgraduate students working with polysaccharides and their possible uses, and should be of interest for people working both in the areas of chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine."--Jacket.
