Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phenolic compounds are a large group of phytochemicals which are widely distributed in commonly consumed foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, spices, coffee, tea, red wine, cocoa, and virgin olive oil. To date, more than 8000 naturally occurring phenolic compounds have been reported in plants. Dietary polyphenols can potentially protect against various chronic diseases. The most important effects of phenolic compounds include antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, cancer chemopreventive, cardiovasculo-protective, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective activities. Various literature reviews have demonstrated the potential protective effects of polyphenol-rich foods and their extracts toward cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases, mostly through antioxidant and chemo-preventive properties. Thus, current scientific research on polyphenols has aroused great interest and significantly attracted the attention of researchers.
This Special Issue of Antioxidants, titled “Modern Analytical Approaches in the Identification of Polyphenols in Food, Food Sub-Products and Plant Matrices”, aims to collect original current research on the health benefits of polyphenols and their identification in food, food sub-products, and plant matrices. Covered aspects can include, but are not limited to, different extraction procedures and advanced analytical techniques of the isolation and characterization of polyphenols.
We invite you to submit your latest research findings or review articles for this Special Issue. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Dr. Alina Plenis
