Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing volume of scientific studies highlights the functional and health-promoting properties of bioactive molecules derived from plant matrices and their byproducts. Among these, polyphenols have been extensively investigated for their potential in addressing metabolic disorders, including obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and blood glucose imbalances, as well as associated complications such as oxidative stress and inflammation. Despite extensive research, establishing a definitive cause-and-effect relationship between polyphenols and their health benefits remains a challenge.
This Special Issue aims to consolidate interdisciplinary expertise in chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry, drug chemistry, and toxicology. We invite researchers to submit original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that provide deeper insights into the mechanisms by which polyphenols contribute to health benefits.
The goal is to create a scientific foundation that facilitates the translation of findings into practical applications, benefitting consumer health through industrial advancements.
