Reihe: Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology

This book explores the fundamental principles and diverse applications of nano-polysaccharides, emphasizing their growing importance as functional biomaterials in the food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. Nanoscale engineering enhances the inherent properties of polysaccharides, improving permeability, bioavailability, and retention, making them effective carriers for drug delivery, cell encapsulation, and tumor-targeted therapies. Their physicochemical properties, such as solubility, viscosity, and mechanical strength, can be precisely adjusted by manipulating factors like molecular weight, chain structure, and linkage patterns, allowing for tailored functionality in a wide range of specialized applications.
 
Readers are provided with a detailed overview of both invasive and non-invasive techniques, such as SEM, FTIR, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and optical microscopy, used to characterize and optimize nano-polysaccharides. It examines how these methods support material modifications for various industrial and biomedical uses. With a focus on real-world applications in food science, energy storage, biosensing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, this book serves as a vital reference for researchers and professionals in materials science and nanobiotechnology.
