Insights Into the Heterogeneous Catalysis for the Synthesis of Sugar Alcohols - Paperback

by Anup Prakash Tathod (Author)

Low calorie sweeteners are becoming the part of our day-to-day life owing to the increasing number of diabetes patients. In this scenario, Sugar alcohols are emerging as one of the promising option as low calorie sweeter because of its insulin free metabolism in the human body. This book highlights the importance of the sugar alcohols, its various synthesis routes, especially through heterogeneous catalysis. Various factors that can in fluence the synthesis of sugar alcohols from mono and polysaccharides have been discussed in details. Author hopes that this book will be helpful for the beginner researches working in the area of biomass to chemical conversion, heterogeneous catalysis and sugar alcohols synthesis
