The Power of Food Bioactives: Chemistry, Innovation, and Health Benefits

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue ‘The Power of Food Bioactives: Chemistry, Innovation, and Health Benefits’ aims to explore the dynamic field of food bioactives, focusing on their chemical composition, innovative applications, and profound health impacts. This issue invites contributions from experts actively engaged in researching bioactive compounds present in foods, emphasizing their extraction techniques, molecular structures, and physiological roles. Topics will encompass novel methodologies for bioactive isolation, analytical approaches to characterize their chemical diversity, and bioactive ingredient-enriched innovative food formulations. Furthermore, the issue will highlight the potential health benefits of bioactive consumption, including their roles in disease prevention and health promotion. This Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of food bioactives and their implications for human health by gathering state-of-the-art research and innovative perspectives.
