Topical Advisory Panel Members’ Collection Series: Functional Foods

Dear Colleagues,

Functional foods are considered a food category with increased scientific interest, due to both their important implications in the food industry and their possible beneficial effects on human health. 

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue entitled “Topical Advisory Panel Members' Collection Series: Functional Foods”. This Special Issue will be a collection of papers from researchers invited by the Topical Advisory Panel Members, which aims to provide a venue for networking and communication between applied sciences and scholars in the field of functional foods and bioactive compounds in disease prevention and health promotion, as well as for recent trends regarding the production of innovative functional foods with possible health claims. All papers will be published with full open access after peer review.
