Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antioxidants invites you to contribute to a Special Issue dedicated to the latest advancements in antioxidant activity and polyphenol extraction. Polyphenols, powerful antioxidants found in plant matrices, play a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). This protection is vital for promoting healthy aging and preventing various diseases.
In light of the growing interest in integrating sustainable and efficient extraction and purification methods, this Special Issue seeks to highlight innovative approaches that push the boundaries of current antioxidant research. We encourage the submission of reviews or original research articles that explore new methodologies and technologies designed to enhance the efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability of polyphenol extraction.
Potential submission topics include the following:
Innovative Extraction Techniques, such as the following:
- Hot pressurized liquid extraction;
- Microwave-assisted extraction;
- Enzyme-assisted extraction;
- Ultrasound-assisted extraction;
- Deep eutectic solvents;
- Continuous-flow extraction systems.
Advanced purification methods, such as the following:
- Macroporous resin adsorption;
- Microporous resin adsorption;
- Adsorption preparative liquid chromatography;
- Membrane technologies;
- Two-phase aqueous systems.
Application technologies, such as the following:
- Integration of selective separation processes;
- Microencapsulation;
- Incorporation into edible films and coatings;
- Hydrogel delivery systems;
- Nanoemulsions.
We particularly welcome papers that introduce novel approaches to antioxidant activity assessment. This could include cutting-edge analytical techniques for evaluating the effectiveness of polyphenols in various applications, from food preservation to pharmaceuticals.
This Special Issue represents a unique opportunity to contribute to the evolution of antioxidant research. By addressing the limitations of traditional methods—such as environmental impact, low yields, poor selectivity, and decreased bioavailability—these innovative approaches offer promising solutions that can significantly advance the field.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
