Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to build a promising future, health and sustainability must go hand in hand. Marine, forestry, agriculture, and food systems are important sources of bioproducts used in health applications. To explore the potential of such sources for the development of natural products capable of biological activities, it is necessary to develop new technologically sustainable strategies. Despite the range of natural compounds already on the market, there is a need to identify bioactive molecules (e.g., polysaccharides, proteins and peptides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and polyphenols) from different natural sources with positive health properties, including antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antiobesity, antimicrobial, antiatherosclerotic, antioxidant, antithrombotic, immune-modulatory, relaxing, and satiety-inducing effects. This Fourth Edition of the Special Issue aims to identify and gather works on the latest varied sources of bioproducts, the biological and functional activities of these bioactive compounds, their mechanisms of action, and the methods used for extraction and purification, without losing our focus of alignment with the concept of green technology.
