Evaluation and Formulation of Bioactive Terpenes

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issue “Evaluation and Formulation of Bioactive Terpenes”.

Terpenes are very bioactive natural products. They are commonly found in extracts from plants, animals, and microorganisms, mainly in essential oils and oleoresins. The issue will share a panorama of growing research concerning the encapsulation of either terpenes or the essential oils containing them in different nanostructure systems— polymeric, lipidic, or molecular complexes— with a view to obtaining chemical protection, improved bioefficacy, and permeation-enhancing ability, among other benefits.

This second Special Issue will continue to focus on the importance of the evaluation and formulation of bioactive natural products, which will be explored further. We welcome research and review articles focused on the biological assessment of bioactive natural products, upscaling the isolation and concentration of bioactive natural products, and formulation strategies, mainly using nanotechnological approaches.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
