Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The extraction of bioactive lipid compounds from seafood by-products has gained significant attention due to their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and functional foods. These lipid bioactive compounds offer promising health benefits due antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective properties and may play an important role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, such as cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Innovations in extraction technologies and synthesis methods are essential for improving the efficiency, yield, and purity of these compounds for commercial applications.
This Special Issue explores the state-of-the-art technologies for the extraction of bioactive compounds from seafood by-products. It addresses the knowledge enhancement on novel extraction techniques, synthesis processes, optimization of solvents for enhanced safety and efficiency, and biological effects on health and nutrition.
Current research has demonstrated the feasibility of extracting bioactive compounds from marine lipid by-products and synthesizing them using innovative approaches. However, gaps exist in understanding the full spectrum of bioactivities, mechanisms of action, and optimal conditions for extraction and synthesis. Further studies are needed to explore the therapeutic potentials of these compounds comprehensively and their applications in promoting health.
This Special Issue invites you to contribute original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that advance our understanding of innovative technologies for extracting bioactive lipid compounds from seafood by-products. By addressing research gaps and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, this Special Issue aims to accelerate progress towards sustainable and effective utilization of marine resources in biotechnological and biomedical applications.
The scope of this Special Issue includes exploring novel methods for extracting and synthesizing bioactive lipid compounds derived from seafood by-products. This involves developing cutting-edge techniques and technologies to optimize extraction efficiency, enhance compound purity, and explore new applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to propose sustainable practices in obtaining valuable lipids while maximizing their bioactivity and potential health benefits.
