Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your contributions to a Special Issue on "Advances in Functional Food with Antioxidant Bioactivity" in Foods. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative research in the realm of functional foods and food-derived antioxidant agents, focusing on their efficacy in combating oxidative stress and related diseases.
Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to detoxify them, is implicated in various pathological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation, and cancer. Given the detrimental effects of oxidative stress on human health, there is growing interest in identifying novel food sources of compounds with potent antioxidant bioactivity to mitigate its impact.
We invite authors to submit original research articles or reviews addressing antioxidant bioactivity in line with the following themes:
- Innovative functional foods and beverages;
- Bioactivity assessments (mechanisms of action) in biological models;
- Novel models for antioxidant bioactivity testing;
- Innovative antioxidant delivery systems;
- The biodisponibility and bioaccessibility of functional-food-derived antioxidants.
