Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous epidemiological, clinical, and experimental studies have reported that the physiological activities of dietary functional factors are closely related to the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the promotion of human health. Therefore, it is beneficial to the development of precise nutrition and personalized functional foods by revealing the metabolic mechanism of functional factors during dietary intervention, which has been regarded as a key point in the field of food nutrition and health.
Non-targeted analysis based on modern omics technology, such as proteomics and metabolomics, helps to establish the correlation between the health benefits of functional food and the physiological activities of its bioactive components, and further explore biomarkers after dietary intake. Meanwhile, based on the analysis of the metabolic mechanism of dietary functional factors, the information of endogenous metabolites, metabolic pathways and metabolic networks, etc., will be conductive to elucidate the association between dietary nutrition and health, and deepen our understanding of the efficacy of dietary interventions in disease prevention and human health promotion.
This Special Issue of Metabolites, “Physiological Activity and Metabolic Mechanism of Dietary Functional Factors”, will publish reviews and original articles covering the latest developments of the physiological activities, metabolic process, typical metabolites and metabolic mechanism of dietary functional factors, and the connections between functional factors, including their metabolites and human health. Furthermore, innovative methods and techniques used to analyze, identify, and reveal the metabolic mechanism of dietary functional factors will be welcome.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
