Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Molecular Nutrition of Natural Compounds in Foods” aims to cover the latest outstanding discoveries on health-promoting effects and related molecular mechanisms of bioactive compounds derived from foods. Molecular nutrition of natural compounds in foods is an interdisciplinary field which incorporates research on chemical characterization from foods, bioactive activities of those compounds, and the underlying mechanisms behind those health-promoting effects.
This Special Issue aims to present some of the most significant and recent investigations on health promotion effects of natural compounds derived from foods, such as reducing the risk of certain diseases, or improving health outcomes. This issue focuses on the potential pharmacological effects of bioactive compounds on cells, organs, and systems and the mechanisms behind these effects. The use of natural compounds has shown promising outcomes in treating chronic diseases, such as metabolic disorders. The knowledge that has been obtained from studies in the natural compounds in foods may translate into potential clinic treatments or more comprehensive diet guidance.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
