Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Fruit and vegetables are a rich source of metabolites such as sugars, organic acids, vitamins, phenolic compounds, terpenoids and N-containing substances. As the consumption of fruits and vegetables is increasing and the demand for high-quality fruits and vegetables is rising, extensive studies in the field of plant metabolomics are needed. Phenolic compounds, terpenoids and N-containing substances are three main groups, all of which are extremely important for human health and still represent a wide field for study.
This Special Issue focuses on detailed studies on the metabolomics of fruits and vegetables, especially phenolic compounds, terpenoids and N-containing substances. New methods of determination and quantification are welcome. Studies on substances in low concentrations are also welcome. Studies investigating the effects of post-harvest and abiotic/biotic stress on fruit and vegetable metabolites are strongly encouraged. All types of articles, such as original papers, statements and reviews, will be considered for publication in this Special Issue.
