Carbohydrates radiation chemistry

The field of carbohydrate radiation chemistry was reviewed by Phil-lips12,13 in 1961 and in 1971. Since then, knowledge has increased so rapidly that it is useful to review it anew. Those readers interested in food sterilization by radiation, and in related studies on carbohydrates, are referred to the review by Dauphin and Saint-Lebe,14 wherein references not given in the present article may be found. 

Besides research already outlined, Stacey undertook other work, some of which was distinct from carbohydrate chemistry. This relates to his contributions to radiation chemistry, analysis, organofluorine chemistry, and soil chemistry.

The present chapter is not meant to be an arcanum accessible only to the trained radiation chemist, but is intended to give comprehensive information to readers generally interested in carbohydrate and free-radical chemistry. Following a general description of the free-radical reactions thus far discovered for this class of compounds, there is a Section dealing with individual compounds, as well as a special Section on the radiation chemistry of solid carbohydrates, including aspects of preparative interest.
