Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food is the main factor influencing the development of the body and maintaining its good condition. A properly balanced diet and nutritional products provide the body with all the compounds necessary for the proper functioning of the organism.
The growing interest in diets targeted at narrow groups of consumers/patients or in restrictive/elimination diets makes it increasingly important to demonstrate the role of individual ingredients consumed in optimum, deficiency, or excess. This Special Issue will focus on both the positive and negative effects of animal-derived diet compounds. In the era of searching for new sustainable protein sources, it is also extremely important to study the biological activity of alternative raw materials and products developed based on them. Therefore, verification of the biological activities of animal-originated compounds in animal and in vitro models and human trials will be welcome in our Issue.
This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including the following:
- Verification of new animal-derived ingredients;
- Development of new functional products;
- Quality assessment of animal-derived ingredients fortified products;
- Health effects of consuming animal-derived food;
- The bioavailability of bioactive compounds of animal origin.
We welcome submissions including, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Mechanistic studies aiming at elucidating the biological basis of observed phenomena in in vitro and in vivo animal models;
- Human studies (epidemiological and interventional).

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. Nutrients 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
