New Insights into the Production of Polysaccharides and Their Derivatives for Challenging Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to give an overview of new insights into the production of poly- and oligosaccharides but also derivatives from these macromolecules for challenging sustainable development of the next decade. The topics for scientific research articles include, but are not limited to:

• Characterizing the structural features
• Monitoring new physico-chemical and/or biological properties
• Using various polysaccharide sources
• Synthetising oligosaccharides and/or derivatives using chemical, physical and/or enzymatic methods
• Proposing life cycle assessment, circular economy and/or sustainable development approaches
• Various fields for applications, such as biomaterials, biotechnology, bioprocess, pharmacology, energy, etc.
• Answering the socioeconomical needs of any country.
