Dietary sugars are known to have medical implications for humans from
causing dental caries to obesity. This book aims to put dietary sugars
in context and includes the chemistry of several typical subclasses eg
glucose, galactose and maltose. Modern techniques of analysis of the
dietary sugars are covered in detail including self monitoring and
uses of biosensors. The final section of the book details the function
and effects of dietary sugars and includes chapters on obesity,
intestinal transport, aging, liver function, diet of young children
and intolerance and more. Written by an expert team and delivering
high quality information, this book provides a fascinating insight
into this area of health and nutritional science. It bridges
scientific disciplines so that the information is more meaningful and
applicable to health in general. Part of a series of books, it is
specifically designed for chemists, analytical scientists, forensic
scientists, food scientists, dieticians and health care workers,
nutritionists, toxicologists and research academics. Due to its
interdisciplinary nature it could also be suitable for lecturers and
teachers in food and nutritional sciences and as a college or
university library reference guide.
