Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Antioxidant Separation and Identification: Emerging Techniques in the Extraction of Phytogenic Compounds", aims to explore cutting-edge methods for separating and identifying antioxidant compounds from plant sources, integrating advanced extraction techniques with bioactivity analysis. We invite contributions on innovative approaches, such as ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), mass spectrometry, or other high-resolution tools, to isolate and characterize bioactive phytogenics with high antioxidant potential. Emphasis will be on sustainable extraction processes, mechanisms of action, and therapeutic applications in areas such as neuroprotection, anti-inflammatory treatments, and dermatology. By compiling forefront research, this issue seeks to provide a comprehensive view of current advancements and future directions in phytochemistry, fostering collaboration among researchers in biology, chemistry, and biotechnology.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Plants 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.
