Carbohydrate Nutrition

Carbohydrate Nutrition, an edited 2025 publication from Academic Press by Bin Zhang and Sushil Dhital, analyzes how food carbohydrates relate to metabolic disease. The text establishes how foundational chemistry and structural classification influence physiological responses across dietary components. Structured specifically for nutrition researchers, food scientists, and food chemists, the book connects structural chemistry with health implications.

The material systematically evaluates dietary fiber groupings and prebiotic compounds, assessing how chemical classification shapes biological functionality across food matrices. By examining non-digestible polysaccharides alongside digestible carbohydrates, the text establishes a comparative framework for analyzing structural variation, functional behavior, and nutritional quality in human diets.

A distinct practical feature focuses on methods for formulating food products with enhanced carbohydrate nutritional profiles. By translating fundamental molecular data into actionable functional principles, the work offers targeted analytical support for professional researchers evaluating functional ingredients, formulation strategy, and dietary product development.
