Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green extraction techniques have been widely used in recent years due to the major sustainable goals established by authorities to valorize wastes and by-products from the agricultural and food industries. The Special Issue will focus on the evaluation of green extraction technologies to sustain the circular economy concept by using the waste agri-food by-products to create value-added products. The obtained extracts are a source of bioactive compounds, including phytomolecules with chemical and functional profiles influenced by extraction process and conditions, and evaluated in different in vitro and in vivo systems.
This Special Issue on "Green Extraction Techniques of Bioactive Compounds From Natural Sources" aims to present novel advances in green extraction methods, and the main topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The circular economy concept through the strategies of wastes and by-products from the agri-food sector;
- Green extraction methods for the recovery of bioactive compounds;
- Chromatography methods for determining the quality and safety of the extracts;
- The development of different value-added food products, new herbal drugs or cosmetic products;
- Analytical methods for demonstrating the phyto-chemical and nutritional value of new products.
We cordially invite authors to contribute original research articles and reviews that provide innovative information on green extraction techniques of bioactive compounds from natural sources.
