Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Foods is focused on “Bioactive Compounds in Fruits and Vegetables Byproducts: Interactions and Bioavailability”. The main aim of this Special Issue is to bring together scientists with experience in the fields of bioactive compounds and functional food. The bioactive compounds found in fruits and vegetables and their byproducts have considerable application potential. These compounds have demonstrated promising results in the food, medicine and agriculture industries. We can extract useful bioactive compounds from fruits, vegetables and their byproducts, contributing to sustainable practices and minimizing waste. The full extent of their functionalities requires further research to optimize extraction methods for maximum efficiency and yield. Exploring the potential of bioactive compounds could lead to novel solutions that benefit food products, human health and the environment. Therefore, this Special Issue is open to research results and/or quality reviews on new challenges and new technological approaches related to bioactive compounds and food products with potential functionality.
Dr. Berta Gonçalves
