Herbs serve primary healthcare needs and some herbs are widely used as functional foods. Analysis of carbohydrates is essential to understand their structure-function relationships in food science and herbal medicine. However, accurately defining chemical structures of glycans is a challenge due to their chemical heterogeneity and diversity. We review and discuss carbohydrates as new functional ingredients in herbs and functional foods, and their analysis, a novel aspect in quality control and herbal glycomics. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
