Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how a particular type of carbohydrate is broken down in the body. While the concept that the body processes complex carbohydrates into simpler ones is well-established, this book focuses on inulin, a complex carbohydrate, and how it is absorbed into the body and broken down into simpler carbohydrates in the body. The author provides detailed methods for measuring how inulin is broken down in the body, and how other factors, such as the presence of other substances or the time elapsed, affect the process. This book is a useful resource for anyone interested in the specialised study of carbohydrate digestion and absorption.
