Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue titled "Effects of Plant Extracts on Human Health" in Nutrients. This issue aims to explore the diverse impacts of plant extracts on human health, spanning from their nutritional value to their potential therapeutic effects/nutraceuticals.
We invite researchers, scientists, and experts to contribute their original research and reviews to this Special Issue. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, studies investigating:
The bioactive compounds present in plant extracts;
The mechanisms underlying the health effects of plant extracts;
The role of plant extracts in preventing or treating various health conditions;
The potential synergistic effects of combining different plant extracts;
The impact of processing and preparation methods on the bioavailability of plant extract compounds;
The utilization of plant extracts in functional foods and nutraceuticals.
We encourage submissions that utilize diverse methodologies, including in vitro and in vivo studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses, to provide comprehensive insights into the effects of plant extracts on human health.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to the collective advancement of knowledge in this important area of research.
