Polysaccharide Nanostructures [PDF]
, 2014 This chapter reviews the microstructural evolution of single polysaccharide gels, mixed protein–polysaccharide systems and fluid gels. It also covers the physicochemical behaviour of the crystalline and glassy solid states of polysaccharide systems. The chapter outlines the structural monomers of the polysaccharide backbone and goes on to describe how ...
