Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Applied Sciences entitled “Bioactive Compounds from Food: Structure, Biological Activity and Health Effects”. The new frontiers in food science are aimed at identifying specific interactions between different components of functional foods and their capability to modulate genomic, cellular, biochemical, or physiologic functions that can be potentially beneficial for human health. Polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, pigments, trace elements, phytoestrogens, and many other substances are known to be essential components of most foods that may help prevent disease and maintain vital body functions. The main goal of this Special Issue of Applied Sciences is to provide the most recent insights into the biochemical mechanisms through which functional molecules in food can modulate the redox balance of human cells and tissues in order to maintain internal homeostasis and structural integrity and to prevent the onset of chronic degenerative diseases.
The Guest Editors would like to invite potential contributors to submit their manuscripts on these topics including original research, systematic reviews, mini-reviews, and prospective articles.
Prof. Dr. Marco Giammanco

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
