Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate polymers of simple sugars linked together covalently by glycosidic linkages in a condensation reaction. Some polysaccharides are homogenous polymers that contain only one kind of sugar, while others are complex heterogeneous polymers that contain 8-10 types of sugar. The different sugar units may have different anomeric configurations or be formed by different glycosidic linkages. Polysaccharides may be linear or branched. All polysaccharides are present in a range of molecular weights rather than having a single molecular weight.

Polysaccharides possess unique chemical, physical, and biological properties and are the most abundant natural biopolymer. Monosaccharide building blocks, the type of linkages between residues and the extent and type of chain branching of these polymers determine the diversity and properties of the polysaccharides. Due to their various specific properties, polysaccharides have found manifold interests in the fields of food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
