Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Awareness of the importance of the antioxidants in food, beverages, and so on has increased significantly during the last decade. The food and beverage industry is utilizing antioxidants from natural sources to replace synthetic antioxidants because of the negative health consequences and beliefs associated with the latter. Natural antioxidants, such as polyphenols, carotenoids, and vitamin C, exhibit a plethora of biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-atherosclerosis, and anticancer effects. Much scientific research has been devoted to the evaluation of the antioxidant activity of natural products, such as olive oil, fruits, and vegetables, as well as the extraction, isolation, and characterization of antioxidant compounds from medicinal plants, spices, and marine sources. Much research has also been devoted to the recovery of antioxidants from olive mill waste, winery waste, and other wastes, as well as their use for the authentication (e.g., geographical origin, organic–non-organic) of foods and natural products by means of chemometrics.
The aim of this Special Issue, entitled “Antioxidants in Natural Products III”, aims to collect recent scientific research on the discovery of new antioxidants from all kinds of foods, beverages, and natural products, as well as their uses for human benefit, and to critically present available and emerging analytical methods for the measurement of the antioxidant activity and other quality parameters of natural products.

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.
