The book "Methods of chemistry of carbohydrates", edited by corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Nikolai Konstantinovich Kochetkov and with the participation of the author A. Thompson, is a unique and in-depth study in the field of carbohydrate chemistry. This edition, translated from English, is a real treasure for professionals, students and anyone interested in the chemistry of carbohydrates and their application in various fields of science and technology. From the first pages, the book immerses the reader in the fascinating world of carbohydrates - organic compounds that play a key role in biochemical processes and are the basis for many vital molecules. The authors carefully consider the methods of synthesis, analysis and modification of carbohydrates, which makes this publication indispensable for chemists, biochemists and specialists in the field of food technologies. The book will be of particular interest to undergraduate and graduate students studying chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutics and related disciplines. It will also attract the attention of researchers working in the field of carbohydrate chemistry, as it contains up-to-date data on modern methods and approaches used in this field. Due to the available language and clear structure, even those who are just starting their way in carbohydrate chemistry will be able to easily absorb the material presented. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues, ranging from the basics of carbohydrate chemistry to their complex reactions and applications in medicine and the food industry. The authors focus on the importance of carbohydrates in biological systems, their role in metabolism and interaction with other macromolecules. This makes the book especially valuable for those interested not only in chemistry, but also in biology, medicine, and pharmaceuticals. The style of Nikolai Kochetkov, as one of the leading experts in the field of carbohydrate chemistry, is distinguished by the clarity and logic of the presentation. His work, such as “Carbohydrate Chemistry” and “Carbohydrate Synthesis”, has already established itself as an authoritative source of information. In "Methods of carbohydrate chemistry" Kochetkov and Thompson continue this tradition, offering readers not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical recommendations that can be applied in laboratory practice. In addition, the book contains many illustrations, diagrams and tables that help to better understand complex processes and mechanisms. This makes reading not only informative, but also visually appealing.
