Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The uniqueness of secondary metabolites produced by marine organisms is widely acknowledged within the scientific community. Even far from folk medicine applications typically known for terrestrial plants, marine organisms have asserted themselves in various fields, such as agriculture and medicine, with considerable bio-economic benefits for different industries. In this regard, while the challenge of marine bioactive compounds supply persists, synthetic methods are being employed along with the application of biotechnological techniques to ensure sufficient quantities to meet needs. The recognized value of marine molecules has also attracted investment into computational tools, to provide information on their biosynthetic pathways, in view of modulating the production of compounds of interest, and expanding their biotechnological and industrial applications. Antioxidants are among the most attractive of them, not only for their direct effect on the pathophysiology of several disorders and diseases, but also for their important industrial and biotechnological applications, from fields as wild as food, cosmetics, and drugs preservatives to packaging material and agricultural applications in view of improving crop production yield.
In this Special Issue, I invite you to submit your latest research findings or original review articles, which will bring together current research, as well as highlight the newest data and critical discussions concerning the industrial and biotechnological applications of marine antioxidants.
I look forward to your contribution.
Dr. Graciliana Lopes
Guest Editor
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. Antioxidants 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 2900 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.
