Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Polyphenolic Antioxidants in Food", welcomes manuscripts focusing on the diverse role of polyphenol compounds within food systems. We invite original works that address the identification, characterization, and mechanisms of antioxidant activity of polyphenols, studied using in vitro and in vivo methodologies. The submitted papers, stemming from fundamental and applied research, should highlight polyphenols' (bio)functionality, with a special focus on their potent antioxidant capacity, which significantly contributes to the human diet.
Contributions may range from analytical advancements in polyphenol identification and quantification to processing technologies and their impact on composition, stability and bioavailability. We particularly encourage studies that explore the synergistic effects of different polyphenols or polyphenols with other dietary components, as well as those that investigate their potential impact on health outcomes. Furthermore, we also seek research that delves into their incorporation in food products and papers discussing safety aspects related to their use.
In this Special Issue of Antioxidants, we aim to provide a comprehensive platform for focused research on polyphenols, which are major antioxidant ingredients in the human diet. We are collecting scientific insights into the potential and challenges of polyphenols as bioactive compounds and also discussing broader implications for the food and health sectors. This comprehensive approach aims to stimulate further research and development in this area.
