Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volume I (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/foods/special_issues/Food_Bioactives) of this Special Issue was incredibly successful. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved for their participation, and the support of numerous high-profile scientists. The topic of “Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidants, and Health Benefits” continues to play a pivotal role today, and it is for this reason that we believe it is now time for Volume II to be launched, which will hopefully prove as successful.
Nowadays, the role of food bioactive compounds in the promotion of health is being explored by the scientific community. The great diversity of phytochemicals present in food matrices is translated into different and underdeveloped mechanisms of action of these compounds related to health or pathological status. These factors make this research topic pertinent and ambitious.
In order to delve into the chemical nature of these phytochemicals, the distribution and quantity in which they are present in foods, and their bioactive potential, the recent advances of extraction procedures, analytical techniques, and bioactivity assays are essential to elucidate minor food constituents and metabolites with potent bioactivity and their mechanisms of action.
In this regard, a new volume of the Special Issue “Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidants, and Health Benefits” of Foods is being released, focusing on the chemical extraction and analysis of food phytochemicals with potential bioactivity against several illnesses. It will provide an overview of the current status and future perspectives of this research field in continuous expansion.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Food bioactive compounds with potent antioxidant activity involved in disease prevention.
- Phytochemicals present in food with anti-obesity activity.
- Bioactive compounds from food matrices with anti-diabetic potential.
- Enriched bioactive foods with anti-inflammatory effect.
- Food bioactives with anticancer activity.
- Food constituents with microbiota modulation activity.
This Special Issue on “Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidants, and Health Benefits - Volume II” will include a selection of recent research and current review articles about bioactive compounds present in foods and plants with disease prevention attributes. This Special Issue is particularly focused on articles describing the presence of bioactive compounds from different food sources, their analysis, bioactive properties, and mechanisms of action regarding disease prevention.
