Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products and their extracts play a key role in almost every field of chemistry and biology, from microbiology and biochemistry to medicine and bioinformatics.
Food bioactive compounds are extra-nutritional constituents that typically occur in small quantities in foods. In summary, numerous bioactive compounds appear to have beneficial health effects. Much scientific research needs to be conducted before we can begin to make science-based dietary recommendations. This Special Issue welcomes both original articles and reviews focusing on the properties of bioactive compounds from natural sources.
