Food Bioactive Compounds as Functional Ingredient

Dear Colleagues,

Functional foods containing bioactive compounds showed the potential for preventive and therapeutic treatment of nutrients. The research of bioactive compounds is evolving into a high-level data-driven field by introducing a variety of advanced techniques. This Special Issue is designed to invite researches on recent advances in bioactive compounds related to nutrigenomics, metabolic syndromes, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia. Ultimately, this Special Issue aims to provide the most trustworthy information of the latest bioactive compounds not only to food scientists and nutritionists but also to experts in the discovery of new therapeutic drugs. Hopefully, leading scientists in these fields will be able to engage actively with creative results.
