Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, which is related to the 5th International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food (5-ISPMF, Nanchang, 25–30 August 2021), seeks updated and new knowledge on natural marine products. Marine drugs and functional foods have received increased attention due to their considerable benefits for human health. This Special Issue will shape the future research direction for the important marine bioresources. Our purpose is to feature high-quality, advanced research and knowledge coming from various research groups all around the world working on marine natural products. We invite researchers to contribute reviews and reports of their recent work on the functional and nutritional properties of natural marine products, as well as biotechnological improvements. Please note that registration to the 5th International Symposium on Phytochemicals in Medicine and Food is obligatory for acceptance.
The Special Issue will focus on natural marine products, including the following aspects:
- Natural marine products for preventing and managing modern diseases;
- Importance of functional marine-derived foods for human health;
- Bioactivity and function of edible marine plants and animals;
- New strategy of using marine drugs for promoting human health;
- Pharmacokinetics and biotransformation of marine drugs;
- Biotechnology for yielding bioactive marine components.
