Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce this Special Issue, “Bioactive Compounds and Their Antioxidant Role: 2nd Edition”, of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Bioactive compounds are intensively evaluated due to their positive impacts on human health due to their physiological, immunological and behavioural effects. These compounds are of great importance since they are involved in the regulation of various metabolic processes in the human body, such as free radical scavenging, gene expression, enzymes, etc. Besides their primary role in traditional medicine, they play an important role in numerous food and pharmaceutical industries due to increasing consumer demand for natural, healthy, nutritious and economical products. Key parameters such as the bioaccessibility, bioavailability and bioactivity of these compounds should be taken into account in order to ensure their proper application.
This Special Issue will include papers dealing with the extraction and identification of biocompounds from different natural sources; their application in the medicine, pharmacological, cosmetic and food industries; and, in combination with antioxidants and polyphenols, their uses under oxidative stress conditions.
Dr. Tamara Jurina
Guest Editor
