Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Guest Editors, we would like to invite you and your colleagues to contribute either a review or original research article to the Special Issue “New Insights into Bioactive Compounds” to be published in Applied Sciences (IF: 2.7, JCR - Q2 (Engineering, Multidisciplinary)).
Bioactive compounds are in most cases non-essential compounds (e.g., phenolic compounds, terpenoids, flavonoids, betalains) that occur in nature, are part of the food chain, and can be shown to have a beneficial effect on human health. Researchers have shown interest in finding safe and efficient bioactive compounds to reduce the risk of several diseases. In addition, the methods for obtaining bioactive compounds must now be environmentally friendly. In this sense, the search for bioactive compounds from natural products derived from terrestrial or marine plants and animals, as well as their by-products, represents a continuous area of interest.
We expect to open a discussion and to collect novel investigations in the field. For such aims, principal topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- By-products;
- Phenolic compounds;
- Terpenoids;
- Functional ingredients;
- Green chemistry;
- New extraction procedures;
- Microbiological compounds;
- Enzymatic processes;
- Food.
You may submit your manuscript now or by the deadline “30 November 2024”.
All submissions are peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published online shortly thereafter.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Dr. Eva Dorta
Dr. José Ignacio Alonso-Esteban

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
