Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainable management of food has been amongst the most important challenges faced by the food sector in recent years. This applies to both food raw materials themselves and also to waste generated during food production. Natural raw materials and food industry waste, both of plant and animal origin, contain many chemically diverse groups of compounds with high biological activity. Many of them can have a beneficial effect on the human body, both at the stage of prevention, protecting against the development of the disease, as well as stages of treatment and recovery. The use of these active ingredients is an ambitious task for food technologists, nutritionists, microbiologists, doctors and also researchers involved in environmental protection.
We invite researchers in relevant fields to submit articles to this Special Issue, entitled “Sustainable Utilization of Bioactive Compounds from Food and By-Products”. Topics should concern the utilization of the components with diverse biological activity for the production of novel foods, for human and animal health protection and treatment, and in other potential applications.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
