Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant raw materials, thanks to the content of many bioactive compounds, play a key role in the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases. Many plant bioactive ingredients exhibit both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes them promising raw materials in the treatment of diseases associated with chronic oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Plant raw materials are becoming more and more popular key ingredients in many products, in which they are used both as complexes of compounds present in the plant and as isolated individual substances. In cosmetology, the properties of these substances are particularly appreciated due to their ability to protect skin from oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, which can lead to premature skin aging, as well as numerous dermatological diseases. Currently, plant sources of substances with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects are the subject of a significant amount of intensive research and are increasingly being used as multifunctional innovative ingredients in many products.
This Special Issue, entitled “Antioxidant, and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Natural Plants” aims to present new information on the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of plant materials. We encourage researchers to submit their original scientific articles related to the assessment of the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of plant materials. Papers can also focus on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of plant extracts or the study of formulations for new cosmetic products containing plant materials. Review articles presenting the current state of knowledge on the above topic are also welcome.
