Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, natural antioxidants have been broadly investigated, and numerous articles have been published on their isolation from vegetables, cereals, seeds, aromatic herbs, and several agro-industrial by-products. Both the food and the cosmetic industries are highly interested in the application of natural antioxidants in their products due to consumer preference for “natural” rather than “synthetic” additives. Moreover, terms like “polyphenols” and “bioflavonoids” are very appealing to consumers, as they have been related to health effects and anti-aging attributes. Although extensive data can be found in the literature about natural antioxidants encountered in vegetable and animal sources, few published works deal with extraction and purification methods. The development of appropriate isolation and purification techniques is indispensable for the industrial exploitation of natural antioxidants. Because of the wide interest in the first edition of the Molecules Special Issue “Exploitation of Natural Antioxidants: Isolation and Purification Techniques”, we announce the second edition of this Special Issue, “Exploitation of Natural Antioxidants: Isolation and Purification Techniques II”. This Special Issue welcomes original papers and comprehensive reviews focused on, but not limited to, isolation/extraction methods or purification techniques of raw extracts.
