Cyclodextrins: Structural, Chemical, and Physical Properties, and Applications

Benjamin Gabriel Poulson, Qana A. Alsulami, Abeer A. Sharfalddin et al. · 28 Dec 2021

Due to their unique structural, physical and chemical properties, cyclodextrins and their derivatives have been of great interest to scientists and researchers in both academia and industry for over a century. Many of the industrial applications of cyclodextrins have arisen from their ability to encapsulate, either partially or fully, other molecules, especially organic compounds. Cyclodextrins…

Dextran: Sources, Structures, and Properties

Elsa Díaz‐Montes · 1 Jul 2021

Dextran is an exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or their enzymes in the presence of sucrose. Dextran is composed of a linear chain of d-glucoses linked by α-(1→6) bonds, with possible branches of d-glucoses linked by α-(1→4), α-(1→3), or α-(1→2) bonds, which can be low (<40 kDa) or high molecular weight (>40…

Natural Polymers Used in Edible Food Packaging—History, Function and Application Trends as a Sustainable Alternative to Synthetic Plastic

Bárbara Elisabeth Teixeira-Costa, Cristina T. Andrade · 29 Dec 2021

In this review, a historical perspective, functional and application trends of natural polymers used to the development of edible food packaging were presented and discussed. Polysaccharides and proteins, i.e., alginate; carrageenan; chitosan; starch; pea protein, were considered. These natural polymers are important materials obtained from renewable plant, algae and animal sources, as well as from…

Progress in Starch-Based Materials for Food Packaging Applications

Lucia García-Guzmán, Gustavo Cabrera‐Barjas, Cintya Soria‐Hernández et al. · 14 Jan 2022

The food packaging sector generates large volumes of plastic waste due to the high demand for packaged products with a short shelf-life. Biopolymers such as starch-based materials are a promising alternative to non-renewable resins, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly food packaging alternative for single-use products. This article provides a chronology of the development of…

Microalgae Polysaccharides: An Overview of Production, Characterization, and Potential Applications

Jorge Alberto Vieira Costa, Bárbara Franco Lucas, Ana Gabrielle Pires Alvarenga et al. · 1 Oct 2021

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms capable of synthesizing several biocompounds, including polysaccharides with antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. At the same time that the accumulation of biomolecules occurs, microalgae can use wastewater and gaseous effluents for their growth, mitigating these pollutants. The increase in the production of polysaccharides by microalgae can be achieved mainly…

Polysaccharides template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Polysaccharides format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Polysaccharides template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Polysaccharides use?
Polysaccharides uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Polysaccharides 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Polysaccharides?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Polysaccharides document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Polysaccharides template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Polysaccharides format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Polysaccharides PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Polysaccharides template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
