Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biopolymers are natural substitutes that can be efficiently extracted from natural sources. Over the past few decades, these environment-friendly biopolymers and their composites have been repeatedly used in the food industry. As common natural biopolymers, protein, carbohydrates, and lipids play indispensable roles in meeting the nutritional requirements of neonates, adults, and the elderly and guaranteeing food quality. They also could be used for the release of delivery systems, food packaging, etc. To trace the development of biopolymers in the food industry, we are launching this Special Issue that focuses on recent advances in the applications of biopolymers in the food industry. All studies related to these topics are welcome.
