Plant Foods
A section of Foods (ISSN 2304-8158).
Section Information
The ‘Plant Foods’ section welcomes articles focused on foods derived from plants of common dietary interest, from unconventional edible plants, and those formulated by using plant extracts of nutraceutical interest. High-quality rigorous scientific works dealing with novel and/or underestimated typical plant foods will be considered. The articles are expected to address chemical characterization, formulation, supplement interactions, and the impact on human health through direct or indirect assessment. Special emphasis will be given to articles that focus on agri-food wastes as valuable sources of food, bioactive compounds, and dietary supplements with an emphasis on eco-sustainability and circular economy.
