Marine Bioactives in Food and Medicine—Selected Papers from 6th International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food (6-ISPMF)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, which is related to the 6th International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food (6-ISPMF, Hangzhou, August 5–10, 2022), seeks an updated and new knowledge on natural products from marine environments. Marine drugs and functional foods have received increased attention due to their considerable benefits for human health. This Special Issue will shape the future research directions for the important marine bioresources. Our purpose is to feature high-quality, advanced research and knowledge contributed by various research groups all around the world working on marine natural products. We invite researchers to contribute reviews and reports of their recent work on the functional and nutritional properties of natural products from marine as well as the biotechnological improvements. Please note that registration to 6th International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food is obligatory for acceptance.

The Special Issue will focus on natural products from marine environments, including the following aspects:

• Natural products from marine environments for preventing and managing modern diseases;
• Importance of functional foods from marine environments for human health;
• Bioactivity and function of edible marine plants and animals;
• New strategy of using marine drugs for promoting human health;
• Pharmacokinetics and biotransformation of marine drugs;
• Biotechnology for yielding bioactive components from marine environments.
