Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from plant and natural sources play a pivotal role in modern scientific research and various industries. Plant and natural sources have long been recognized as valuable reservoirs of bioactive compounds with diverse therapeutic properties. These compounds, such as polyphenols, alkaloids, and essential oils, have demonstrated significant potential in preventing and treating various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. Moreover, the growing interest in sustainable and natural products has amplified the importance of exploring bioactive compounds from plants, as they offer eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic pharmaceuticals.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect and share new findings or reviews focusing on, but not limited to, novel extraction procedures for bioactive compounds from various natural sources, innovative isolation or detection techniques, the intriguing bioactivity of natural products, and new applications in nutraceuticals for the bioactive molecules.
We encourage and welcome you to share your research findings or new ideas highlighting the Extraction and Characterization of Bioactive Compounds From Plant and Natural Sources.
