Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers and academics to contribute to this Special Issue dedicated to the pressing topic of lipid peroxidation and the oxidative stability of vegetable oils. As the demand for healthier oils rich in mono- and poly-unsaturated fatty acids continues to grow, so does the need for effective strategies to control oil oxidation—a key factor in the deterioration of nutritional and sensory quality, and overall consumer acceptance.
This Special Issue will focus on innovative research and recent advancements in delaying lipid peroxidation, developing practical solutions to extend the shelf life and preserve the quality of oil-based food products. In particular, we encourage submissions exploring the potential of plant-based antioxidants and natural extracts as sustainable, consumer-friendly alternatives to synthetic additives.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanisms and measurement of lipid peroxidation in vegetable oils;
- Comparative oxidative stability of different edible oils;
- Natural antioxidants from plant sources: characterization and effectiveness;
- Synergistic effects of plant extracts and other compounds to delay oxidation;
- Encapsulation techniques and delivery systems to improve antioxidant activity;
- Applications of surface-active substances in enhancing antioxidant efficiency;
- Case studies from industry and innovative formulation strategies.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that provide new insights or technological approaches in this field.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 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.
