Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the intricate relationship between biochemistry and nutrition within food components. It serves as a platform for researchers to unravel the mysteries behind the molecular makeup of various food constituents and their profound impacts on health promotion and food preservation. From macronutrients like proteins (protein hydrolysates/ peptides), carbohydrates (sulfated polysaccharides), and lipids (PUFAs) to micronutrients, phytochemicals (phenolics, carotenoids, and terpenoids/saponins), and other functional compounds, each article offers insightful perspectives on how these elements interact with biological systems, influence metabolic pathways, and contribute to overall well-being. Through a blend of experimental studies, in vitro and in vivo assays, animal studies, and clinical insights, this collection aims to advance our understanding of food science and its implications for nutrition, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners alike. Thus, we invite you to submit your original research or comprehensive review articles related to these aspects.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
