Manno-oligosaccharide from coprameal as prebiotic and anticancer agent

This book exclusively explains the biochemical analysis of dry coconut powder (copra meal) and the abundance of galactomannan. Its isolation and purification using biophysical techniques and hydrolysis using a biochemical catalyst endomannanase into mannobiose, mannotriose and other manno-oligosaccharides. These manno-oligosaccharides attributed to possess a better prebiotic as compared to commercial prebiotic and have anticancer potential.
