Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences titled “Polyphenols in Food and Plants: Latest Advances and Prospects”, which aims to present recent findings regarding the presence of known and unknown forms of polyphenols found in plant and food sources. Polyphenols are bioactive food compounds that are a part of a large group of phytochemicals found in plants. These components are known to have various effects on the human organism, e.g. anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-cancerogenic effects. Some studies have proven that daily intake of polyphenols can lead to reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, chronic diseases, and type 2 diabetes. To estimate polyphenols' impact on human health it is crucial to use validated and standardized methods for their determination. Moreover, new sources of polyphenols, which can be found in plant and food matrices, are desirable. Papers about new trends in methodologies applied for qualitative and quantitative analysis of polyphenols in plant and food matrices are welcome, especially concerning methods of confirming polyphenols’ structure, establishing their activity, bioactivity, and digestibility.
For this Special Issue, we are seeking original research papers of a high standard, as well as reviews on topics related to new methods and the effect of processing on the concentration and activity of polyphenols found in foods and plants. Manuscripts presenting the use of modern analytical procedures for the detection and determination of polyphenols from food matrices important in terms of their quality, bioactivity, and health are also encouraged. We believe that this Special Edition will broaden the horizons of our knowledge of polyphenols found in foods and plants.
