Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New eating habits, trends in production and the processing of crops have health, environmental and social impacts. Nowadays, the interest in nutraceuticals and functional foods is increasing due to their nutritional ingredients and therapeutic potential.
This Special Issue aims to identify and review the latest developments in agricultural produce, agricultural product quality and safety, the extraction and identification of chemical and bioactive compounds in natural matrices, the development of new nutraceuticals and functional foods, innovative food formulations with functional properties, public interest, consumer demands and sustainable food systems.
Therefore, I cordially invite authors to contribute with original research articles and reviews.
Dr. Angela Fernandes
