Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antioxidants are crucial for combating oxidative stress and are primarily derived from various plant sources. Traditional extraction methods often use harmful solvents and are energy intensive, thus exerting to significant impact on the environmental. This Special Issue, entitled "Green Extraction of Antioxidant from Natural Source", address the need for sustainable extraction methods in the face of growing environmental concerns.
Green extraction techniques not only minimize the ecological footprint of antioxidant extraction, but also offer enhanced efficiency and yield, positioning them as a preferable alternative to conventional methods. This collection will highlight the application of innovative and eco-friendly techniques, including supercritical fluid extraction, ionic liquid-based extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and dispersive microextraction with magnetic adsorbents. This Special Issue will also delve into the characterization of antioxidants obtained from diverse sources and their applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
By fostering interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue of Antioxidants aims to advance the use of sustainable practices in antioxidant extraction, ultimately contributing to environmental preservation and public health.
