Advances in Antioxidant Ingredients from Natural Products

Dear Colleagues,

With the increased interest in natural matrices and, especially, in all their bioactive compounds, the focus of academia and industry has been directed at the discovery of novel antioxidant ingredients. The benefits that these compounds can exert in human health are countless, and several antioxidant mechanisms have been reported. With that in mind, and considering the growing consumers’ preference for natural products, the present Topical Collection aims to gather the most recent advances in antioxidant ingredients from natural sources. Therefore, we cordially invite authors to contribute with original research articles and reviews. These may cover all aspects of antioxidant mechanisms, reflecting the state of the art on natural extracts and/or isolated compounds applied to food for antioxidant purposes. This Collection will also welcome research focused on the development of biobased ingredients that, beyond conferring other suitable features to foodstuff, also bring relevant antioxidant properties. From this perspective, it will also consider similar applications in other areas such as cosmetic, cosmeceutical, pharmaceutical, or textile, among many others. Critical and objective perspectives of specific aspects related to the extraction, purification, isolation, stabilization, and/or application of natural antioxidants will perfectly fall within the scope of this Collection.
