Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioactive compounds of plant origin possess valuable properties and have been employed in traditional medicine for centuries. Today, there is significant interest in both cosmetics and pharmaceuticals containing plant extracts. Despite scientific developments, many people still reach for traditional treatment methods before going to the doctor. This has prompted scientists to professionally study the properties of materials of plant origin. Therefore, knowledge regarding the content of certain compounds in plants, the study of their antioxidant and biological properties, and their potential use in medicine remains pertinent.
This Special Issue welcomes potential authors to contribute original articles, short communications, and review articles that focus on natural plant bioactive compounds (polyphenols, flavonoids and others), the methods used to extract and isolate these compounds from the plant material, and their antioxidant and biological activity. We also welcome the submission of research concerning the potential application of bioactive compounds.
