Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of value-added compounds from bio-sources is becoming a ground-breaking topic in both research and the industrial world because of the need to adapt the industrial sectors to sustainable, green, and source-saving production systems, as well as in the framework of the circular economy concept. The Special Issue “Green Compounds from Bio-Sources: Characterization, Innovative Production, and Advanced Technological Applications” focuses on the latest developments in the main aspects of the production of green molecules from bio and renewable sources, highlighting all the innovative technologies for their characterization, production, and sustainable application. The ambition of this Special Issue is to publish both reviews and research articles reporting and discussing modelling and experimental approaches on innovative applications for biomass valorisation, advanced technologies for the production of green by-products and value-added compounds, advanced analytical and characterization techniques of bio-molecules, biorefinery for biomass conversion and CO2 capture, and extraction technologies and purification treatments, taking into account the concepts of circular economy and green and sustainable impacts. The production of green compounds can also lead to the formation of undesired by-products that have to be removed from the environment in order to avoid any potential contamination; therefore, this Special Issue is also presenting some advanced technologies for by-product treatment.
This Special Issue aims at providing key information for the industrial sectors in which the valorisation and use of green compounds and bio-sources are fundamental topics such as pharmaceutical production, animal foods, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
