Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue of Antioxidants is to highlight recent developments in the elucidation of the role of phenolic compounds as antioxidants in health promotion or disease prevention, innovative techniques and protocols for the extraction, isolation, and structural characterization of phenolic compounds, their industrial uses in the food and cosmetic industries, and the revalorization and use of by-products as a natural source of valuable bioactive phenolic compounds.
Bioactive phenolic compounds present in fruits, vegetables, and other natural matrices have attracted increased interest over the last few years due to their antioxidant, antiseptic, and antibacterial functional properties. Their potential applications cover a wide spectrum in pharmaceutical, chemical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. The consumption of such antioxidants plays a protective role against oxidative damage diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc. On the other hand, they are also used as food preservatives, preventing oxidative degradation and microbial proliferation. Furthermore, recently, consideration has been given to their use in industrial crop plants and by-products as natural sources of valuable bioactive phenolic compounds.
Therefore, you are invited to submit original research papers or review article, focused on issues related to bioactive phenolic compounds, approached from different fields of knowledge.

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.
