Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive compounds exist in different forms such as flavonoids, co-enzymes, polyphenols and phytoestrogens, to name a few. Bioactive compounds in plant and animal sources are extremely important for human health as they provide extra nutrients required for the maintenance of human health. Recent research investigations combining structural chemistry, engineering, chromatography food processing and biophysics have provided novel ideas in terms of the extraction, isolation and characterisation of bioactive compounds from food sources. The arrival of 3D printing and advances in food valorisation have provided new angles in bioactive isolation and utilisation. This proposed Special Issue will focus on all aspects of the extraction, isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds incorporating research and reviews from leading researchers across the globe.

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. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
