Description du sujet

l-rhamnose is a rare monosaccharide with high potential for valorization (in agri-food, chemistry, and cosmetics) as a precursor to complex chemical or biochemical reactions. This sugar also plays a role in numerous mechanisms of cellular interactions and communications (lectin-type receptors, etc.) recently identified by glycosciences. Traditionally, this monosaccharide is extracted after hydrolysis from plant resources that are insufficient to meet current market demands. The proposed thesis... More Detail
