Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to invite you to participate as authors in the Special Issue "Phenolic Compounds" of the journal Molecules.
Polyphenols have been of great interest to nutritionists and to the scientific community, as they are considered to be nature's most powerful antioxidants. They are recognized as active compounds that possess several putative beneficial properties, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activity. However, the use of polyphenols as functional food ingredients faces numerous challenges, such as their poor stability, solubility, and bioavailability. These difficulties could be solved relatively easily by the application of encapsulation.
Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research and review articles, may cover all aspects of phenolic compounds, including different methods of extractions and analysis, the phenolic profile of plants and natural products, polyphenols as potential markers for botanical and geographical origin, phenolics in medicine, encapsulation. Studies with multidisciplinary input, offering new methodologies or insights, are particularly welcome.
