They are composed of monosaccharide units which are linked together by glycosidic linkages. These biomolecules react with water to form constituent sugars. Marine polysaccharides are carbohydrates of marine origin. These are sulfated polysaccharides which are produced by concomitant fixation of sulphur and carbon. Some common examples of marine polysaccharides are chitosan, chitin, carrageenan, fucoidan and alginate. These carbohydrates are gaining popularity as they have low extraction cost and are soluble in aqueous solution and extraction media. Seaweeds and exoskeletons of crustaceans are some of the major resources of marine polysaccharides. They find extensive application in the field of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals and tissue engineering. There has been rapid progress in this field and its applications are finding their way across multiple industries. The various advancements in the study of marine polysaccharides are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights on marine polysaccharides.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephan Blackwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163987349X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639873494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Murphy \u0026amp; Moore Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.88h x 8.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Stephan Blackwood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080105128191,"sku":"9781639873494","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e821f01d-e916-4f2f-9d9b-7b9f13f32751.jpg?v=1685484975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marine-polysaccharides-stephan-blackwood-9781639873494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
