Bioactive Compounds and Emerging Technologies for Aquatic Food

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to kindly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Bioactive Compounds and Emerging Technologies for Aquatic Food”, which aims to cover the latest outstanding discoveries on bioactive compounds and related emerging technology of aquatic origin. Marine food is a rich source of health-promoting substances, such as bioactive peptides, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, polyunsaturated lipids, minerals, and phytosterols. Additionally, extraction and processing technologies for bioactive compounds from aquatic food, such as gelatin, collagen, chitin, and chitosan, are different from those for general fruit and vegetables. This issue will focus on the potential health-promoting effects of these bioactive compounds and various emerging technologies for aquatic food. Research and review papers are both welcome.

The potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Extraction methodologies for the extraction of bioactive compounds from aquatic food;
• The identification of functional compounds from aquatic food;
• The evaluation of the beneficial effects of bioactive compounds in aquatic food;
• The utilization of green technology in extracting and processing aquatic food.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
