Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive and aroma compounds play a pivotal role in shaping the nutritional, sensory, and therapeutic characteristics of food products. The upcoming Special Issue titled "Bioactive and Aroma Compounds in Food Products" aims to thoroughly explore these essential elements within food science. This comprehensive investigation will encompass the processes of identifying, characterizing, and understanding the functional implications of these compounds across diverse food matrices.
This Special Issue will feature advanced extraction methods and cutting-edge analytical techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry, highlighting recent advancements in research. Additionally, it will examine how factors like food processing techniques, storage conditions, and the body's absorption mechanisms influence the stability and efficacy of these compounds.
Furthermore, this Special Issue will investigate how biotic stressors like gall-forming insects, other pests, and diseases, along with abiotic stressors such as drought, temperature extremes, soil salinity, and nutrient deficiencies, impact the composition of bioactive and aromatic compounds in plant foods.
Overall, this Special Issue will serve as a significant venue for providing valuable insights into the complex interplay among bioactive and aroma compounds, food matrices, and their implications for human health and nutrition.

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