Short description
Glycosides are sugar derivatives. An overwhelming number of glycosides occur in nature, mainly in plants. Recently these compounds have received much attention because they possess a variety of biological activities and have found importance in therapeutic, nutritional and clinical use. The book summarizes significant contemporary information on chemical, nutritional, biological and medicinal aspects of naturally-occurring glycosides and some glycoproteins and glycolipids.
