Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the face of rising chronic disease prevalence and the biological complexities of ageing, the scientific community is increasingly focusing on the preventive potential of diet-derived bioactive compounds. These naturally occurring molecules—from polyphenols and flavonoids to carotenoids, phytosterols, and bioactive peptides—have shown compelling evidence of modulating key cellular and molecular pathways involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, metabolic regulation, and cellular ageing.
With this Special Issue, entitled “Food Bioactive Compounds in Chronic Diseases Prevention and Ageing”, we aim to understand the mechanistic and clinical aspects of specific dietary components by integrating data from molecular nutrition, biochemistry, and clinical studies. We warmly invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and short communications that delve into the molecular mechanisms, health impacts, and translational potential of food bioactives.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions that will collectively enhance our understanding of how nutritional science can be harnessed to promote healthier ageing and reduce the global burden of chronic diseases.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
