Antioxidant Activity in Plants, Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds and Foods

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the scientific community has shown great interest in the field of plant antioxidants, and a great number of studies have been published documenting their health-promoting effects as well as their involvement as pharmacological agents in different molecular signaling pathways. A variety of plant materials are known to be natural sources of antioxidants, such as herbs, spices, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. The interest in these natural components is driven not only by their biological value, but also by their economic and ecological impact, as most of them may be extracted from food byproducts, under-exploited plant species, or traditionally used medicinal and edible plants. The current Topic gathers five well-respected journals from MDPI aiming to offer the possibility for researchers to publish their results concerning plant antioxidants in the most suitable journal, featuring great visibility for their research. The Topic welcomes manuscripts regarding any aspects of plant antioxidants in relation to their use in nutrition, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and pharmacy, and food chemistry and technology.
