Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are honoured to invite you to submit a manuscript to the forthcoming Special Issue entitled “Extraction and Encapsulation of Food Active Substances”, which seeks to present the most recent advancements in the extraction and encapsulation of bioactive compounds for food applications. Particular emphasis will be placed on innovative methodologies, industrial relevance, and sustainability considerations.
Food-active substances, including antioxidants, antimicrobials, vitamins, and other health-promoting compounds, play a critical role in enhancing food quality, safety, and nutritional value. We welcome the submission of original research and review articles that explore novel extraction techniques and advanced encapsulation strategies aimed at preserving and maximising the functionality of these bioactive. Special attention will be given to sustainable approaches, including the utilisation of food industry by-products, less commonly studied food waste sources, and their application in the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals.
This Special Issue will highlight technological innovations that improve food quality, safety, and sustainability.
Your expertise will make a valuable contribution, and we look forward to receiving your submission.
Dr. Mihaela Skrt
Guest Editor
