Usage Trends

The concentrated, economic responsibility involved in the production of the other commercial polysacolloids has required research into raw materials, processes, and finished products. This is already proving rewarding in improvements in quality and in a better knowledge of those properties and applications facilitating the empirical task of selection.

Chemists have long been aware that alkaline solutions effect structural changes in carbohydrates. As a consequence, although such solutions can be used effectively for the dissolution of most carbohydrates, including polysaccharides, contact of carbohydrates with them is usually avoided. Dread of their use as solvents for carbohydrates arose principally because early

Climatic fluctuations, long-term usage trends and agronomic practices can dramatically affect the characteristics of the monitoring data obtained from a field study, and this in turn affects the degree to which the study can be utilized to generalize about the environmental impacts of use of the pesticide. Surface water programs should be multi-year studies if one intends to address adequately the variability of pesticide...
