Textbook in PDF format

Coverage includes sugars in the context of honey, dental caries, whole-body metabolism and glycemic load. Thereafter, there are sections on the chemistry of glucose, galactose, maltose, fructose, sucrose, lactose. Other sugars are also described throughout the book. Methodical aspects include characterization and assays of sugars in seeds, urine, blood, human milk, vegetables, dairy produce and other foods. The techniques cover gas, ion and thin layer chromatography, UV spectrophotometry, electrochemical detection, mass spectrometry, biosensors, enzymatic reactions, high-temperature liquid chromatography, Raman spectroscopy and other methodology.
