Bioactive Ingredients in the Food Matrix

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been a growing research interest in the functionality and bioefficacy of bioactive ingredients using different techniques and the incorporation of these materials into various food products, known as ‘functional foods’. The bioactive ingredients include a diverse class of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and flavors, as well as bioactive live organisms (i.e., probiotics).

This Special Issue of ‘Bioactive ingredients in the Food Matrix’ aims to bring together pure and applied research papers on various aspects that have been experimented and suggested for the aforementioned broad group of bioactive compounds and bioactive live organisms (i.e., probiotics).
