Digestive\u003cbr\u003e health is the largest segment of the burgeoning functional food market worldwide. Incorporation of bioactive\u003cbr\u003e oligosaccharides into foods can yield health benefits in the gastrointestinal\u003cbr\u003e tract and other parts of the body that are linked via the immune system.\u003cbr\u003e Because oligosaccharides can be added to a wide variety of foodstuffs, there is\u003cbr\u003e much interest within the food industry in incorporating these functional\u003cbr\u003e ingredients into healthy food products. Moreover, other areas such as\u003cbr\u003e pharmaceuticals, bioenergy and environmental science can exploit the\u003cbr\u003e physicochemical and physiological properties of bioactive oligosaccharides too.\u003cbr\u003e There is therefore a considerable demand for a concentrated source of\u003cbr\u003e information on the development and characterization of new oligosaccharides\u003cbr\u003e with novel and\/or improved bioactivities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFood Oligosaccharides: Production, Analysis and Bioactivity\u003c\/i\u003eis a comprehensive reference on the\u003cbr\u003e naturally occurring and synthesised oligosaccharides, which will enable food\u003cbr\u003e professionals to select and use these components in their products. It is\u003cbr\u003e divided into three sections: (i) Production and bioactivity of\u003cbr\u003e oligosaccharides, (ii) Analysis and (iii) Prebiotics in Food Formulation. The\u003cbr\u003e book addresses classical and advanced techniques to structurally characterize and\u003cbr\u003e quantitatively analyse food bioactive oligosaccharides. It also looks at practical\u003cbr\u003e issues faced by food industry professionals seeking to incorporate prebiotic\u003cbr\u003e oligosaccharides into food products, including the effects of processing on\u003cbr\u003e prebiotic bioavailability. This book is essential reading for food researchers\u003cbr\u003e and professionals, nutritionists and product developers working in the food\u003cbr\u003e industry, and students of Food Science with an interest in functional foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr F.
