Abstract
OF vital interest to the plant and animal physiologist and to the biochemist, starch has assumed a position of great importance also in applied chemistry and industry. To this latter domain this monograph properly belongs, and it is the latest of a series initiated by Dr. E. Howard Tripp with the intention of bringing together into one volume the mass of scattered literature, both old and new, which is of real value to the technologist in selected fields of chemical industry. This is a service which is widely acknowledged, and the present volume will be welcomed by many readers.
