Book of Fructans
Wim Van den Ende (Redaktør) ; Ebru Toksoy Oner (Redaktør)
After more than 30 years, The Book of Fructans represents the first and most comprehensive coverage of fructans generated
by pioneer glycoscientists from the field. It outlines the fundamentals of all fructan types, their terminology, chemical and structural-functional features, biosynthetic enzymes that make and break them,
their presence and possible roles in nature, their evolutionary aspects and their microbial, enzymatic, and plant-based production. Les mer

of fructans, specifically, the agro/chemical and biomedical applications, health, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications,
fructans in food and feed, fructan nanotechnology, the immunomodulatory and antiviral effects of fructans and the perspectives
for fructans in circular economies and sustainable societies. Intended for scientists, entrepreneurs, academicians and students
working in related fields, this book will be a useful resource for all who wish to learn more about these extraordinary carbohydrates.

Dr. Wim Van den Ende received his PhD degree in Agronomical Engineering in 1996 and currently he is working as a Professor
at the Biology Department of KU Leuven University (Leuven, Belgium). He is the Principal Investigator of the Sugar Metabolism
group within the Lab of Molecular Plant Biology. Ongoing research topics are fructan metabolism in plants and microbes, sweet
immunity concepts including fructan priming and prebiotic effects for plant protection, role of carbohydrates during plant
stress responses and plant development, and structure-function research on carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes from plants and
microbes. Recently, Dr. Wim Van den Ende focuses on plant-microbial interactions, providing sustainable alternatives for the
widespread use of pesticides for plant protection. He published 200 peer-reviewed research papers and reviews. Dr. Ebru Toksoy
Öner received her PhD degree in Chemical Engineering in 2000 and currently she is working as a Professor at the Bioengineering
Department of Marmara University (Istanbul, Turkey). She is the Principal Investigator of the Industrial Biotechnology and
Systems Biology (IBSB) research group. Dr. Toksoy Öner’s current research in IBSB focuses on biomaterials, functional foods
and systems microbiology. Ongoing research topics are functional biosurfaces, laser-based technologies, extremophiles, fructans,
levan polysaccharide, strain improvement for exopolysaccharide production, production of biopolymers form extremophiles, and
optimization of fermentation processes to design high-yield production lines. Dr. Toksoy Öner has been the coordinator of
several national and international projects and partner in COST Actions. She is the Member of European Federation of Biotechnology
(EFB), American Nano Society (ANS), American Chemical Society (ACS), International Society for Extremophiles (ISE), Turkish
Biotechnology Society and author of book chapters, reviews and over 100 peer-reviewed research articles.
