As carbohydrates are a major component in human foods, animal fee, biomass and bioproducts, thesis/dissertation research of many graduate students in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources and other colleges at the UofS are closely related to carbohydrates. Comprehensive knowledge of the basic chemistry, functionalities, modifications, industrial applications and bioavailability of various carbohydrates and deep understanding of the analytical methodologies broadly used for carbohydrate research will benefit graduate students in their research at the UofS and beyond. This graduate course is designed to fill the gap. Students will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the structure-function-digestibility relationships of carbohydrates in different systems and to acquire practical and useful knowledge on the principles and operation of analytical techniques that are widely used in carbohydrate research. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours Prerequisite(s): FABS 315, or equivalent, or permission of the instructor. Note: Students with credit for FABS 498 “Special Topics in Carbohydrate Science and Technology” may not receive credit for this course. Note: Offered in alternate years. This course is mutually exclusive with FABS 466.3. This course cannot be taken for credit after previously taking FABS 466.3.
