Properties and Utilization of Common Polysaccharides in Food Chemistry
Polysaccharides are carbohydrates with more than 10 monosaccharide units, commonly found in foods like starch, cellulose, glycogen, hemicellulose, and pectic substances. Starch, a natural polymer of D-glucose, is a major energy source in the human diet, present in cereals, roots, and tubers. It cons
