This volume presents an objective state-of-the-art synopsis of the
sucrose literature. Of its two main sections one is monographic and
covers topics such as chemical and physical data on sucrose and its two
major components (glucose and fructose), production, use, occurrence,
metabolism and kinetics in animals and man, biochemical, health and
safety aspects. The second section contains a bibliography of virtually
all the significant works relating to the nutritional and safety aspects
of sucrose.
