Health Effects of Edible Oils and Their Functional Components

Dear Colleague,

This Special Issue of Nutrients is dedicated to the "Health Effects of Edible Oils and Their Functional Components". Edible oils are vital dietary lipid sources that are rich in bioactive components such as phytosterols, squalene, vitamin E, and polyphenols. Recent studies have highlighted the roles of these components in lowering cholesterol, enhancing gut health, and boosting immunity. The processing and storage conditions of edible oils significantly affect the stability and efficacy of these components. This Special Issue seeks to reveal the multifaceted health benefits of edible oils and their components, promoting the advancement of related research. We welcome the submission of original research, comprehensive reviews, and shot communications that provide novel insights and scientific evidence in this field. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• nutritional components of edible oils and their health effects
• component analysis and health impact of different edible oils
• bioactivity and function of edible oil components
• encapsulation of edible oil/ components and health effects
• impact of processing and storage on digestion and absorption
• intake of edible oils and metabolic health
• metabolism and microbiome: interaction between lipid metabolism and gut microbiota
• clinical trials and epidemiological studies: validation of health effects of different edible oils through clinical trials and epidemiological studies.
