Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since mass spectrometry-based techniques are powerful analytical tools for the identification of antioxidants, as well as products, or intermediates, of redox reactions, there is a growing interest in the application of mass spectrometry in this area of research. The most important technique seems to be high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry; however, the other ones like gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry, and ion mobility-mass spectrometry have been successfully used as well. Beside the identification of antioxidants (e.g., polyphenols in various plant materials), the mass spectrometry-based techniques can be successfully applied to identify the redox cycling compounds that produce reactive oxygen species, to analyse the protein redox state, or to analyse the redox speciation of metals. This Special Issue of Antioxidants, “Mass Spectrometry in the Analysis of Antioxidants and Products of Redox Reactions”, will focus on the application of mass spectrometry in the identification of antioxidants as well as in the study of the redox processes, mainly those occurring in living organisms. The manuscripts devoted to the study of redox processes that take place in the food products (e.g., oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in vegetables oils during manufacturing, storage, or food preparation), the oxidative degradation of polymers, electrochemical processes, organic peroxides in the atmosphere, or fundamental gas-phase studies of redox reactions will be considered as well. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in which the mass spectrometry is a primary or supporting tool used in the analysis of antioxidants or redox processes.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
