Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Society is going through a new era, where science is gaining a prominent role as the only resource for an immediate response to critical situations. This may be the key to finding alternative resources to meet the demand for sustainable and high-quality products. This issue has as its objective the gathering of works, through an interdisciplinary approach, showing the relationships, synergies, and interrelationships of the different areas of science. The demand for renewable sources to reduce the food deficit, which will compromise the nutritional intake of macro and/or micronutrients in an increasingly near future, requires the development of new methodologies and techniques to obtain bioactives with high bioaccessibility and consequent bioavailability.

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.
