[Bill Stroud]

                 FRONTIERS IN CARBOHYDRATE RESEARCH 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         A conference on state-of-the-art carbohydrate research, 
            particularly practical polysaccharide research

      May 10-12, 1994 Purdue University West Lafayette, Indiana


     Sponsored by: The Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research
          and The Department of Food Science Purdue University


The Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research announces its fourth 
international conference, Frontiers in Carbohydrate Research 4.  This 
2.5 day conference is for industrial, governmental, and academic scientists, 
managers of technology, and students.  Like previous conferences, it will 
focus on the molecular basis of practical functional properties of 
polysaccharides and new and potential applications.  Topics will be presented 
by leaders and innovators in carbohydrate research.
