Quite possibly the first comprehensive text on Galactomannans, this book compiles information on industrial galactomannans such as locust bean gum, guar gum, tara gum, fenugreek gum, Cassia tora gum, and Sesbania bisipinasa gum. Until now, the topic has been only generally covered within chapters in books on carbohydrates, particularly the polysaccharides. The book describes how they are currently produced commercially and how they have become industrial commodities. It compares details on the various galactomannan sources and provides a simple and clear introduction to the subject.
The author (Dr. N.K.Mathur) of this book retired as Chairman and Professor, Department of Chemistry, JNV. University at Jodhpur-3, India. Dr. Mathur has carried extensive research in varied fields of chemistry, particularly on polysaccharides. He has worked as a consultant and adviser for galactomannan industries. He has helped in "Human resource development" and carried "Industrial research' on polysaccharides. He has visited several countries world-over, and lectured in seminars/ symposium. He has authored over one hundred research papers, reviews and science article and international monographs.
