Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the natural products family, polyphenols are special due to their great structural diversity and are considered an important part of the plant to protect against plagues and UV radiation. Polyphenols have many biological functions, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumoral, immunomodulatory, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, antiulcerogenic, and many others.
Our Special Issue will focus on recent studies in the field of polyphenols from plants or microorganisms belonging to terrestrial and marine sources. More specifically, original research articles, and reviews that cover the following topics:
- Identification and characterization of polyphenols.
- LC/MS/MS of polyphenols.
- New polyphenols from terrestrial and marine sources.
- Biological activities of known polyphenols.
- Isolation of polyphenols using conventional and unconventional techniques.
- New approaches for investigation of polyphenols and/or their bioactivities.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Separations is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
