Hi Michael, 

Here is what I managed to find:

Carbohydrates and the chemical industry: achievements and prospects
Pages 155-157, Endeavour 1991 15(4)
S. A. Barker

The quotation is an abstract of the above article. It costs $30 to get a
copy by Internet from http://www.sciencedirect.com. If someone has free
access to http://www.sciencedirect.com, please share it with us.

Thank You
George
