Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of a circular economy, the disposal of plant biomass, agrofood by-products and waste with high levels of polysaccharides and other carbohydrates has become an area of research interest for academic institutions and industries. These macromolecules have a great potential for food applications such as active and intelligent packaging, texturing agents or nutraceutical compounds including dietary fibre or bioactive carbohydrates. The further recovery of polysaccharides requires complementary expertise in areas including the extraction, dissolution and physicochemical characterization of carbohydrates; advanced biochemical analysis skills and polysaccharide modification strategies; and materials engineering and assessment of sustainable life cycles.
Considering your significant contribution to this current research topic, we cordially invite you to submit a research article or a comprehensive review to this Special Issue of Foods.
Prof. Philippe Michaud
Guest Editor

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
