Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Green and sustainable chemistry is a very hot topic for those that study biomass all over the world. Biomass-based resources are being increasingly seen, from a biorefinery perspective, to be required to utilise each plant part, rather than be grown for a single purpose. Extracting bioactive, functional or energy-dense molecules from the residues of agricultural processes allows for increased sustainability of the supply chain and enhances the bioeconomy.
This Special Issue aims to collect original papers and/or review papers dealing with complementary and alternative approaches to the study of molecules and materials from biomass and their application in several fields, from bioenergy to green extraction methodologies.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
