"This handbook gives an excellent review of the current state of knowledge on such biopolymers in term of their discovery, occurrence, chemical and physical properties, biosynthesis and degradation, molecular genetics, physiological role, fermentative production or isolation, purification, and applications." (Engineering in Life Sciences)

"...the book is not only an excellent guidebook in technological aspects of biopolymers, but also a supreme teaching and reference book for graduate students and academic and industrial researchers who want to learn about biopolymers from discovery to application." (ChemMedChem)
