Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nutritional strategies are a promising way to prevent and modulate metabolic-related disorders. Whole grain consumption has been shown to prevent and ameliorate metabolic syndromes, such as obesity, hyperglycaemia, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Epidemiological research has shown that diets rich in whole grain cereals could significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease while being inversely correlated with the intake of refined grain foods. The possible reason might be ascribed to the rich content of bioactive compounds presented in cereal grains. In recent years, the development and application of functional cereal products have drawn increasing scientific and industrial interest. Therefore, we kindly invite researchers to submit original research articles as well as review articles related to the current status, challenges and future opportunities of novel functional cereal products and bioactive components from cereals as functional food ingredients.
