Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants contain a variety of biologically active compounds, among which a variety of antioxidants are being studied and applied increasingly more frequently. Medicines, health products, food, cosmetics, and food preservation are among the many applications of these chemicals, which have considerable economic value, for example, flavonoids, polyphenols, vitamins, quinones, coumarin, and alkenoic acid.
Even though many natural antioxidants have been extensively studied, their biosynthetic pathways remain a mystery. There is little understanding of how they are produced, regulated, transported, and released. By combining multi-omics, biochemical, and evolutionary analyses, antioxidant anabolism can be better understood and utilized.
Meanwhile, plant antioxidants have always been a topic of widespread concern. Using the latest advances in extraction, purification, analysis, and identification technology, scientists are able to explore a wider range of substances. By using them in food and medicine, human beings can obtain cheap and safe resources. Improving the application of plant antioxidants and exploring their impact on human health is the goal of the food and pharmaceutical-related industries.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original papers and review articles on plant antioxidants, especially on their anabolism, extraction identification, and application.
