Carbohydrate Polymers

期刊简介：Carbohydrate Polymers covers the study and exploitation of polymers of monosaccharides which have current or potential application in areas such as bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, nanotechnology, biorefining, drug delivery, food, chemistry, packaging , paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles and wood.The role of the well-characterized carbohydrate polymer must be the major proportion of the work reported, not peripheral. At least one named carbohydrate polymer must be cited and be the main focus of the title of the paper, and of the paper itself. Research must be innovative and advance scientific knowledge.Where a polysaccharide is obtained from a supplier, essential structural information which will affect its behavior in the subsequent work should be given. For example, molecular size/viscosity information, mannuronate/glucoronate ration for alginates, degree of esterification for pectin, degree of deacetylation for chitosan. Editors are unlikely to send papers for formal review with a statement such as "sodium alginate was purchased from XXX Inc." unless additional information is supplied. To be acceptable, the paper must include some characterization of the polysaccharide (if not already known) in addition to the application studied. Purity and monosaccharide composition are essential; some molecular size and linkage information is highly desirable.

【译文】碳水化合物聚合物涵盖了单糖聚合物的研究和利用，这些聚合物在生物能源、生物塑料、生物材料、纳米技术、生物精炼、药物输送、食品、化学、包装、纸张、制药、医药、石油回收、纺织和木材等领域具有当前或潜在的应用。所报道的工作中，具有良好表征的碳水化合物聚合物的作用必须是主要部分，而不是边缘部分。至少应引用一种命名的碳水化合物聚合物，并将其作为论文标题和论文本身的主要内容。研究必须具有创新性并推进科学知识。如果从供应商处获得多糖，应提供将影响其在后续工作中行为的基本结构信息。例如，分子大小/粘度信息、藻酸盐的褐藻酸/葡萄糖醛酸比、果胶的酯化程度、壳聚糖的脱乙酰化程度。除非提供额外信息，否则编辑不太可能发送带有“从XXX公司购买海藻酸钠”等声明的论文进行正式审查。为了被接受，论文必须包括对多糖（如果尚未知晓）的某些表征（除研究的应用外）。纯度和单糖组成是必不可少的；一些分子大小和连接信息非常理想。
