Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For the whole of human civilization, plants and their components have served as an irreplaceable source of medicinal substances. Of no less importance is the role they have adopted in recent years, whereby they comprise the material basis for improving the practical properties of natural molecules through their chemical transformation. This idea has been inspiring the search for and study of new phytochemical objects for more than a century, which is gaining more and more opportunities over time thanks to the intensive development of new analytical methods. Along with the importance of the analysis of phytochemical components for medicine, its increasing role in ecology and agriculture should be noted.
Due to the necessity of overcoming the negative effects of mounting environmental problems on Earth, there is a need to develop new sensitive methods for use in the analysis of plant components. This includes ones that are present in very small quantities, but which can have a great impact on plant survival and therefore on the biosphere as a whole. Additionally, among secondary metabolites, phytochemicals are an important group of natural products from which even contemporary agriculture gets new agrochemicals and/or synthetic inspiration. As complete chemical characterization and purity checks are essential for further investigations and practical use, we invite all specialists from the field to contribute to the Special Issue, entitled “Analysis of Phytochemical Components II”.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
