Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For several decades, the scientific community has been interested in determining the content of polyphenols and their in vitro antioxidant activity of foods. Currently, it is understood that polyphenols behave in a different way to antioxidants in the body. Furthermore, the most abundant polyphenols in the food are not necessarily those that have the best bioavailability profile and bioactivity, as polyphenols must be released from the food matrix, resist gastrointestinal digestion, and in some cases be metabolized by colonic microbiota before entering the bloodstream. Through in vitro digestion and fermentation models, the bioaccessibility and the microbiota biotransformation of polyphenols present in foods can be studied, as can the variables that affect those processes, such as food matrix, macronutrients interaction, processing, cooking methods, etc. In summary, an increase in knowledge in this field could contribute to better understanding the role of polyphenols in health promotion and help to design functional foods.

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. Foods 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 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.
