Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Phytochemicals from foods and medicinal plants possess various health benefits and fewer side effects compared with drugs, and thus have gained increasing attention in recent years. There have been several academic advances in this field with the discovery of new functions and mechanisms, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, chemical modification, green synthesis and delivery systems for increasing the stability and bioactivities of phytochemicals. These researches will be helpful for the extensive application of natural products in medicine, food, agriculture, daily chemical use and other fields.
This Special Issue welcomes original research and reviews on all aspects of phytochemicals from diet and medicinal plants, including but not limited to chemical structure, chemical modification and synthesis, extraction and isolation, determination methods, delivery systems, metabolism, bioactivities and application.
Dr. Bo Li
