Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocean is home to a plethora of organisms full of natural products with important biological activities. Due to these properties, marine natural products are gaining increasing importance among the scientific community. On the other side, functional foods and natural health products are getting considerable attention from consumers, as their ingestion can provide various nutritional/health benefits. Therefore, the enrichment of food products with marine functional ingredients is a research field with great potential. In this context, the main aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview on the recent advances in the extraction, purification, characterization and application of marine compounds in food.
