Excerpt from The Sugars and Their Simple Derivatives
The carbohydrates are among the most important of all chemical compounds, from several points of View. They form the main portion of the diet of most animals. They are the raw material for many industries. Yet comparatively little is known concerning the more complicated carbohydrates, though much study has been devoted to them. On the other hand, the simple carbohydrates, the sugars, have been investigated to such effect that the chemical configuration of the majority of them has been elucidated.
The following pages are based on a course of lectures first given at Birkbeck College, London, in 1903, and subsequently at the University of Edinburgh. In addition to students of pure ch'emistry, others interested in medicine, brewing and distilling, sugar manufacture, etc., attended these lectures. On this account more attention has been devoted to such subjects as metabolism, fermentation and the manufacture of sugars than would have been the case otherwise. It is hoped that the book may serve as a companion to works on physiological chemistry and to technological works on brewing, distilling, sugar manufacture and sugar analysis.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the chemical nature of sugars and their simple derivatives. The book begins by outlining the history of sugar and its use as a dietary supplement. The author then comprehensively reviews the physical properties of sugars, including their solubility, viscosity, and optical activity. The chemical properties are explored next, with particular focus on the reactions of sugars with heat, oxidizing agents, and bases. The book also covers the formation and properties of sugar derivatives, such as caramel and saccharates. The author concludes by discussing the significance of these insights in understanding the role of sugars in various industrial processes, such as food preservation and brewing.
