**About the Editors**

**Dario Donno**, Master graduated in Chemistry and with a PhD in Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, is a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant at the Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, University of Turin. His studies mainly focus on the qualitative analysis and analytical strategies (e.g., chromatographic and spectrophotometric analysis coupled to multivariate statistical analysis) for the identification and quantification of the bioactive compounds in different plant materials (buds, leaves, fruits, bark) from temperate, sub-tropical and tropical areas and agri-food industry derived-products for their quality and traceability evaluation. He is the author of more than 150 scientific and technical publications in national and international journals and books, including around 70 in Web of Science and Scopus peer-reviewed journals. He has also actively participated in national and EU research projects.

**Federica Turrini** is a Researcher at the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Genoa. Her research interests are in the field of: eco-compatible extractive technologies with low environmental impact and in accordance with the principles of green chemistry and green extraction; the application of environmentally friendly technologies assisted with ultrasounds and microwaves for the treatment of different food matrices and agri-food production waste; exploitation and valorization of waste from different food-processing chains in order to further formulate new potential nutraceutical and/or cosmeceutical ingredients; chemical-bromatological characterization and the assessment of the authenticity of different food matrices by untargeted spectroscopic analytical technologies coupled with chemometric techniques and targeted chromatographic characterization; formulation of new enriched and/or functional food and food dietary supplements through innovative technological treatments. In these fields of study, she is the author of many scientific publications in national and international journals and she also has participated in national and EU research projects.
