Recent Advances in Food Carbohydrates

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issues of Molecules is an established international journal of research into macromolecular carbohydrates, bioactive polysaccharides, dietary fibers, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, and so on. It presents the latest findings of food carbohydrates functional characteristics and their improvement mechanism. These findings must be new and novel rather than a repeat of earlier or analogous published work. The scope includes the green and efficient extractions, chemical and biological modifications, functional properties, molecular associations, structure and function relationship, and mechanism of polysaccharide protein interaction. Papers on related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and new analytical techniques are also welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

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.
