Topics
All research and application topics related to polysaccharides are within the focus of EPNOE 2013.
The International Scientific Committee has particularly identified the following aspects:
- Polysaccharide isolation and characterization (algae, new crops and plants, by-products, wastes, other sources…)
- Biosynthesis of polysaccharides
- Biodegradation of polysaccharides (mechanisms, products determination, efficiency), enzymology
- Chemical modification of polysaccharides
- Advanced physical, chemical, structural, and surface characterisation of polysaccharides
- Nanotechnology: nano and micro- polysaccharide-based objects (production, characterisation, use)
- Biomimetic applications of polysaccharides
- Development of fuels based on polysaccharides
- Polysaccharides as food ingredients
- Polysaccharides for biomedical applications
- Polysaccharide-based materials including films, fibers and composites
- Bioplastics
- Pulp and paper
- Life Cycle Assessments- Environmental concerns –Policy – Social aspects
