Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green chemistry is a concept that leads us to consider the reduction and elimination of negative environmental impacts using newly-devised chemicals and chemical processes. Use of enzymes and microbes for synthesizing and processing of materials, with less hazardous byproducts and energy consumption, is a promising green chemistry strategy. The special issue “Green Chemistry Approach to Marine Products” focuses on the bioprocessing of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids from marine organisms to convert them to high-value products by using enzymes and microbes. Marine products have already been recognized as useful renewable materials with beneficial functions for human, and the green chemistry approach is expected to add higher value to marine products with minimized environmental impact.
As a guest editor, I invite you to submit original papers and review papers to “Green Chemistry Approach to Marine Products”. Research papers dealing with the bioprocess of marine products performed from the viewpoint of biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology and enzymology are especially welcome.
Dr. Takao Ojima
Guest Editor
