Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Extraction, Characterization and Delivery of Bioactive Components in Food for Nutrition/Health” aims to collect recent studies that present fundamental and applied research on the extraction and characterization of the bioactive compounds in foods, such as bioactive components; dietary fibre and prebiotics; probiotics, functional and bioactive lipids; bioactive peptides; antioxidants and their role in malnutrition and disease prevention; the proactive management of health and chronic conditions; digestion and absorption and their efficacy; the assessment of bioavailability and safety using in vivo animal or/and in vitro human studies; genomic, chemical, and biochemical technologies and their roles in the development and formulation of foods; and the application of innovative processing techniques for the improvement of nutrition and health. This Special Issue welcomes submissions that present an interdisciplinary approach.
