The processing of starches with biodegradable additives has made biodegradable plastics
suitable for a number of applications. Starch plastics are partially crystalline as a result of …

Plants continuously have to defend themselves against life‐threatening events such as
drought, mechanical damage, temperature stress, and potential pathogens. Nowadays, more …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the application of high-resolution, 1 H-nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to the structural analysis of carbohydrates related to …

In the past decades, a gradual increase in the resistance to antibiotics has been observed,
leading to a serious thread for successful treatment of bacterial infections. This feature in …

A fast and direct method, based on infrared spectroscopy, for quantitative determination of
starch short-range structure has been developed. The IR spectrum of starch is sensitive to …

Glycans are among the most complex biological molecules found in nature, being composed
of monosaccharide units in various combinations and linkages, and featuring diverse and …

Capillary glc on SE-30 of the trimethylsilylated (-)-2-butyl glycosides of d and l monosaccharides
gives multiple peak patterns, which can be used for the assignment of the absolute …

The absolute configuration of neutral monosaccharides, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy sugars, and
uronic acids can be determined by capillary glc on SE-30 after glycosidation with (-)-2-…

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) materials have been prepared by kneading, extrusion, compression
moulding and injection moulding of several native starches with the addition of glycerol …
