Cereal Nutrients, Bioactive Compounds, and Their Health Impact
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cereals (e.g., rice, wheat, barley, and maize) have been staple foods for millennia, providing essential macro- and micronutrients and a diverse range of bioactive compounds. Their macronutrient profile includes digestible and nondigestible carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids varying in amount and structure depending on the grain and process history. Cereals are important sources of B-vitamins, iron, zinc, and magnesium, with processing also playing a key role in their bioaccessibility. Beyond nutrients, cereals contain various bioactive compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Research groups around the world are exploring additional compounds, health benefits, and responses to processing. This Topic aims to concentrate a portion of the current research on increased discoverability and impact.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
