Abstract
Carbohydrates (saccharides) are the building units for the synthesis of polymers or complex carbohydrates. Nutrition polysaccharides are sources of energy and they also provide dietary fibers. Exopolysaccharides can be used to form strong, flexible films for the packaging industry. Also, in the manufacturing of detergents, adhesives, paper, paint, food, and textiles. Applications of carbohydrates have expanded in different other fields which have encouraged researchers to study this interesting group of compounds. Hence, this review highlights the nomenclature, classification, structure, biological activities, and different sources of polysaccharides focusing on those from microbial origin.
