Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytochemicals from plant extracts (including polyphenols, carotenoids, plant sterols, glucosinolates and polysaccharides) are of increasing interest in the field of food sciences and technologies due to their health benefits, nutritional value, and potential for use in sustainable food chains. Several food sources naturally contain valuable amounts of these bioactive compounds and have significant implications in terms of chemical stability, health benefits, and sensory attributes; these foods include fruits, vegetables, crops, plant beverages, and wine, as well as new unexploited and under-utilized sources (i.e., algae). Moreover, in recent decades, there has been an increase in scientific studies focusing on the use of plant extracts as food additives or technological aids, and on their recovery from food wastes. This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent knowledge and advances in the field of plant extracts and their phytochemical profiles; we welcome both critical reviews and research articles which investigate their role on biological activities, either in vitro or in vivo, with a focus on their extraction, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability.

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.
