Functional Foods from Marine

Dear Colleagues,

The ocean, a vast and mysterious realm, harbors treasures that extend beyond its azure waves. Within its depths lie vital food and nutrition resources for humanity. Marine foods, sustainable and environmentally friendly, provide high-quality protein, essential for human consumption. Research reveals that diets rich in marine foods correlate with a reduced risk of chronic diseases. These oceanic delights are not only low in calories but also brim with functional compounds. Among these bioactive substances are bioactive peptides, terpenes, polyketides, alkaloids, unsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals. These elements have demonstrated positive health effects. Papers on the isolation, purification, structure identification, absorption, and activity mechanism of functional active substances in marine foods are also welcomed.
