The Conference on Polysaccharides-Glycoscience 2012 is focused on industrial production and
use of polysaccharides; abundance,
properties and structure
of biologically active polysaccharides and derivatives of polysaccharides.
The scientific programme of the conference is divided into sessions comprising
related oral and poster presentations.
Topics:
1. Characterization and analyses of polysaccharides from natural sources
2. Physiological effects of natural polysaccharides
3. Production of polysaccharides and agricultural sources
4. Biodegradable plastics based on polysaccharides
5. Chemically modified polysaccharides
