Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Mediterranean diet is recognized worldwide as being associated with a lower risk of cancer, heart disease, and stroke. This lower risk is universally ascribed to the high intake of vegetables and fruits and, consequently, the high ingestion of phytochemicals. At present, there is a great interest in the development of new nutraceuticals of natural origin for use within the pharmaceutical field and/or as dietary supplements. For instance, the agri-food industry produces a large amount of waste, which can be conveniently used for the recovery of valuable health-promoting compounds for use as natural ingredients.
Therefore, this Special Issue of Molecules is dedicated to original research and review articles that cover the latest findings on new extraction techniques for the recovery of bioactive constituents from fruit and/or vegetables, the chemical characterization of phytoextracts with valuable biological activity, in vivo tests and in vitro bioassays to support biological activity of purified compounds, and complex extracts and/or combined extracts derived from different matrices. Studies focusing on the valorization of bioactive extracts derived from traditional or ancient plant and/or fruit species are also welcome.

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.
