Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your contributions to this Special Issue of Foods aiming to present a collection of studies on the role and effect of functional foods, including edible fungi and lactic acid bacteria in food safety, preservation and treating/or preventing various human diseases due to their nutritive, bioactive and therapeutic values, as well as food-toxin-neutralizing and food-presentative effects. Furthermore, the applications and mechanisms relating these functional food extracts/or ingredients in food industries are encouraged and will be taken into consideration. Current original research and reviews on these topics are welcome.
We eagerly anticipate receiving your valuable contributions.
