Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Obesity is closely related to the occurrence of chronic low-grade inflammation. Even though its intensity is not high, the fact that the inflammation persists all the time is extremely unfavorable and destructive for the human body. Reducing one’s body weight, i.e., reducing obesity, and thus, chronic inflammation, can be greatly achieved thanks to a proper diet rich in compounds with anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties.
Food bioactive components are the basic nutrients or non-nutritive compounds that naturally occur in raw materials subjected to a technological process which strengthen, weaken or modify the physiological and metabolic functions of the body.
In this Special Issue, we aim to gather the latest scientific data both in the form of original research manuscripts and reviews relating to the anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties of compounds known as Food Bioactive Components (FBC) and the relationships between the presence and level of FBC content in food, their daily consumption and effectiveness in the fight against obesity and chronic inflammation.

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.
