Abstract

Polysaccharides built up from anhydroglucose are obtained when glucose or carbohydrates containing glucose as the monomer structural unit are condensed with polyhydric alcohols in hydrogen fluoride. The products may be used as water binding agents and water retaining agents, especially for dietetic foodstuffs.
