Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aromatic compounds are a huge family of organic compounds with a highly stable aromatic system that can also include heteroatoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. The variety of sources of aromatic compounds, such as plants, food, or drugs, leads to different metabolic pathways which could be involved in their biotransformation. Despite the different metabolism in plants and animals, the profiling of aromatic compounds is of great interest in both biological systems.
Metabolic profiling is a powerful tool in understanding normal or pathological processes in the body. Both targeted and untargeted methods using chromatography–mass spectrometry or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy are widely used to identify potentially relevant molecules which could, for example, characterize specific properties of the source, such as antimicrobial properties of the plants, or indicate pathological processes in humans.
The aim of the Special Issue is to accumulate the results of different studies that could reveal the diversity of the properties of aromatic compounds and their role in the metabolic pathways.

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.
