Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an important component of modern food, food additives are widely used to ensure food safety, enhance flavor and stability, improve food appearance, etc. Consumption of some food additives, for instance, emulsifiers, has recently been noted to greatly impact intestinal microbiota and human metabolic health. Studies and/or reviews investigating the impact of food additives on the intestinal microbiota and metabolic health could shed light on the field and support food additive use guidelines.
This Special Issue is devoted to the Nutrition and Metabolism section. We encourage studies from basic science to clinical trials, which investigate the impact of food additives on intestinal microbiota and/or metabolites.
