Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Whole-grain foods are one important part of the dietary guidelines in many counties due to their versatile health benefits. However, their fundamental mechanism is still poorly understood, particularly related to the bioactivity of the intrinsic bioactive components in different food forms. To obtain a better understanding of whole-grain foods, it is worth further exploring their nutritional quality and sensory properties related to the interactions between intrinsic food components in food processing to help in the development of the whole-grain food industry. Thus, this Special Issue will be focused on whole-grain food-related topics, including:
- Glycemic properties of whole-grain foods and their molecular mechanism;
- Interactions among food components during food processing;
- Polyphenols in Whole-grain foods;
- Impact of the physical form of whole-grain foods on their nutritional properties;
- Sensory properties related to food processing;
- Characterization of cereal-specific nutraceuticals;
- Chemical composition and food uses;
- Omics technology in the study of whole-grain foods.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
