Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food properties that reduce the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases represent an important issue, both for scientists and consumers.
The functional and health properties of food depend not only on the content of nutrients, non-nutrients, and chemical pollutants, but also on the various methods of its treatment.
The aim of modern methods of food processing, preservation, and storage is to modify both techniques and parameters, as well as the composition of food, in order to obtain a product with widely understood pro-health properties, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-hypertensive, anti-cancer, immune-boosting, and many other properties.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to new perspectives regarding the chemical and functional properties of foods and other natural products.
Subjects that will be discussed in this Special Issue will focus not only on modern methods, technologies, and the further handling of food prior to its consumption, but also on the verification of its properties in animal or human studies.
