Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Carbohydrate Nutrition discusses the nutritional functionality of foods in addressing the current metabolic disease epidemic. It begins by introducing the sources and structures of various carbohydrates, including starch, human milk oligosaccharides, polyols, arabinoxylan, beta-glucan, and cellulose, along with their function in the small intestine and colon. The book offers a comprehensive examination of carbohydrates, covering their chemistry, classification, digestion and health implications. The importance of prebiotic carbohydrates, such as human milk oligosaccharides and dietary fibers like cellulose, arabinoxylans, and beta-glucan is also discussed.
Each chapter is authored by leading experts in the field making Carbohydrate Nutrition is a valuable resource for nutrition researchers, food scientists, food chemists, and those studying related topics. Readers can apply these insights to the design and development of foods with improved carbohydrate nutrition.
