Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antioxidants are essential for human health, as they help prevent and neutralize oxidative damage in the body, disease prevention and treatment, the immune system, and healthy aging. Antioxidants can be constitutively found in food, but they can be added to enhance antioxidant properties. In terms of other applications, antioxidants are used for food preservation, protecting them against oxidative processes that can affect the nutritional, functional, and sensory qualities of food products. Biotechnology has a significant impact on the use of antioxidants in food production and preservation, offering a variety of tools and techniques that contribute to the development of innovative and efficient processes that can help address global health challenges. We invite you to submit your recent findings or reviews to this Special Issue.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Genetic modification of cultures rich in antioxidants;
- Development of foods enriched with antioxidants;
- Preservation of antioxidants during food processing;
- Application of nanotechnology in the delivery and/or conservation of antioxidants;
- Development of food packaging based on antioxidants;
- Engineering of the intestinal microbiota to increase the absorption of antioxidants;
- Three-dimensional printing of foods containing antioxidants.

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.
