Interests: food chemistry and human nutrition, especially application of analytical techniques used in determination of various food components (nutrients and non-nutrients, including toxic heavy metals) in food rations and food products using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods (LC-MS, HPLC, AAS, ICP-MS, ICP-OES, UV-VIS) and chemometric tools; studies on the bioavailability of nutrients and non-nutrients from dietary supplements and daily food rations using simulated in vitro digestion and analytical techniques
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional foods and dietary supplements are an important part of modern nutrition and may be very helpful in supplementing diets with important nutrients and non-nutrients, especially those that are bioactive and of plant origin. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the current state of knowledge and insight in this field. I invite researchers to contribute original research articles and reviews that will explore the newest findings in the field of functional foods and dietary supplements.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the application of modern analytical techniques used in the determination and study of various nutrients and non-nutrients in functional foods and dietary supplements, and their impact on human health, including regulation of metabolism, the prevention of disease and the improvement of disease states. Moreover, studies related to various aspects of bioavailability and practical application of functional foods and dietary supplements and their active ingredients are also of the highest interest.
Submissions that integrate interdisciplinary perspectives and present novel findings in the field of food chemistry, analytical chemistry, human nutrition, and public health are also highly welcome.
