Research on Nutritional and Bioactive Compounds from Edible Fruits

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to present this Special Issue on research on nutritional and bioactive compounds from edible fruits. Many edible fruits are good sources of dietary nutrients and bioactive compounds that help prevent diverse diseases. Therefore, the health benefits associated with healthy fruit consumption have attracted increasing attention.

In this issue, we will focus on the progress of research on the nutritional value, active ingredients, and bioactive compounds of edible fruits from a phytochemical perspective. We will also focus on the biosynthesis, extraction, separation, identification, and analytical methods of the bioactive and nutritional components present in edible fruits. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Biochemical pathways/biosynthesis of dietary components or bioactive components from edible fruits;
• Analysis of bioactive components from edible fruits;
• Extraction and characterization of bioactive components from edible fruits;
• Analytical evaluation of nutritional properties of edible fruits;
• Benefits and nutritional value of edible fruits to human health.
