Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polyphenols in plants contribute to their characteristic sensory properties—primarily color, taste, and aroma—and provide numerous health benefits to humans who consume plant-based foods. They exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective activities, among others. This Special Issue focuses on analytical methods used for determining polyphenols, tools for assessing their biological activities, and approaches for elucidating the mechanisms underlying their bioavailability in the gut.
