Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phenolic compounds, also known as polyphenols, have piqued the interest of researchers and industrial producers in the last two decades, as witnessed by the number of publications spanning a wide variety of sector fields. Polyphenols are of great interest partly due to their widespread presence in fruit and vegetables, acting as dietary antioxidants capable of offering protection against oxidative stress and counteracting many diseases, including diabetes, aging, cancer, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, and actively playing a role in health maintenance. Now, we have a better understanding of phenolics’ profile in plants and plant-derived foods due to the ongoing advances in analytical chemistry; even so, this topic is yet to be further studied to increase our knowledge concerning the structures and interactions of polyphenols under different processes.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent research regarding the chemistry, extraction methods, and analytical techniques surrounding polyphenols, along with their biological activities. Studies on novel approaches in the sample preparation, chromatographic separation, and detection of phenolics, including hyphenated techniques, such as LC-ion mobility mass spectrometry and LC-NMR spectroscopy, and research in regard to the characterization of novel structures, reaction mechanisms, and the synthesis of phenolic metabolites are also highly welcome.
We would like to invite researchers to participate in this Special Issue by submitting a contribution in their field of expertise. Studies with multidisciplinary inputs, offering novel methodologies or insights, are particularly welcome.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
