Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging is a progressive and irreversible pathophysiological process. In recent years, effective treatments for age-related diseases have received increasing scientific attention. Dietary interventions can be used as a cost-effective way to improve health and decelerate the emergence of age-related diseases. Specifically, bioactive compounds are vital components of functional foods and have various positive physiological and immune functions. Some bioactive compounds (e.g., dietary fiber, antioxidant vitamins, polyphenols, polysaccharides and bioactive peptides) are beneficial to the expression of specific biomarkers, which play crucial roles in the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases.
This Special Issue of Molecules will include a selection of original research and review articles that provide insights into the innovative research and applications of food bioactive compounds in age-related diseases. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Action mechanism of food bioactive compounds.
- Chemistry related to food bioactive compounds.
- Effect of processing methods on food bioactive compounds.
- Bioavailability and bioactivities of food bioactive compounds.
- Isolation and identification of food bioactive compounds.
- Food safety and toxicology.
- Technical improvements such as separation and extraction methods.
- Innovative research on materials, dosage form and equipment.

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.
