Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plants have been used in the prevention and treatment of numerous human diseases since ancient times. The wide range of bioactive compounds and fibers found in plants can be related to antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-neurodegeneration effects, leading to protection from common diseases in the modern world such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. These diseases have shown exponential growth due to unhealthy lifestyle habits observed in populations in the globalized and developed world. In addition to the use of the plants and their isolated bioactive compounds, there has also been an increase in research related to the preparation of plant-based foods in an attempt to maintain these compounds even after processing. As a result, this Special Issue focuses on encouraging the development of original studies and reviews, aiming to depict the relationship between the use of plants and their derived products as sources of health and disease prevention.
