Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in mass spectrometry and separation have enabled the identification of bioactive compounds in dietary botanical supplements. Mass spectrometry-based screening is often used in combination with assays to assess the level of bioactivity. As the interest in dietary supplements continues to increase, it is important to identify and understand the role of these compounds.
This Special Issue entitled “Mass Spectrometry-Based Methods for Determining the Bioactive Components from Dietary Botanical Supplements” will highlight advances in this field ranging from method development to compound screening and identification in dietary botanical supplements by mass spectrometry.
We welcome reviews and research articles concerning all aspects of this topic.
Prof. Dr. C. Michael Greenlief

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.
