About this Research Topic
These topics make researchers aware of the possibility to recover polyphenols from food discards, focusing on the chance to identify valuable molecules presenting different biological properties (e.g., antioxidant, antimicrobial, or anti-inflammatory activities) and devoting to a useful applications in the nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical fields.
This Research Topic welcomes original research articles, reviews and mini-reviews regarding, but not limited to, the following themes:
- The latest advances in the study of bioactive polyphenols from agri-food waste.
- Extraction, chemistry, chemical characterization, absorption mechanism, and metabolism of bioactive polyphenols from agri-food wastes.
- Insights on the relationship between chemical composition and biological activity of dietary polyphenols' biological processes in target cells and tissues.
- Qualitative and quantitative analytical characterization of the polyphenols in the plant and food matrix of interest and their eventual metabolites.
Keywords: Sustainability, Agri-Food Wastes, Polyphenols, Nutraceuticals, Extraction, Absorption Mechanism, Metabolism
