Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polyphenols are one of the most relevant families of bioactive compounds naturally present in the Plant Kingdom, which are present in high amounts in food wastes and food by-products. Their high reactivity joined with the wide occurrence and structural diversity makes polyphenols ubiquitous and interesting structures to be upcycled. Under this context, in recent years the use of novel green extraction methods have been raised to obtain polyphenols from food wastes and by-products in a circular economy approach. Likewise, different applications have been studied from cosmetic to pharmaceutic and food industry. However, despite the greater efforts, some gaps need to be filled such as the pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and bioactivities after the incorporation to food or cosmetics, the technological impact and ultimately the global effect on health and socioeconomic impacts. The main aim of this Special issue is to compile research findings in the format of scientific original articles or reviews manuscripts covering the following topics:
- Polyphenols extraction by green chemistry;
- Characterization of novel sources of polyphenols;
- Polyphenols-ligand interactions, polyphenols upcycling and technological impacts.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
