Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aging of the population and the development of NCDs in recent decades have led to a search for various strategies to improve quality of life. Among them, consuming healthy foods is considered beneficial for human health in aspects beyond nutrition, as evidenced by the presence of bioactive compounds. The benefits of bioactive compounds include, for example, their role in oxidative stress diseases, cancer, gastrointestinal health, and cardiovascular health, among others.
These compounds can be present in natural foods or added to processed foods. Knowledge of their characteristics (e.g., presence and content in different matrices, interactions with other macromolecules) would allow for establishing their potential benefit for the consumer; on the other hand, the development of new recovery techniques would allow for generating efficient processes both in the quantity and activity or properties of interest of compounds and, therefore, productive development of ingredients or food additives of significant added value.
Thus, this Special Issue of Foods focuses on establishing the characteristics of bioactive compounds in different foods, as well as new recovery strategies from food or their fractions. The issue will provide an overview of the status and future perspectives of use of these compounds and techniques in the food and ingredient industries and in research.

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. Foods 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 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.
