Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
The Section of Molecules entitled “Phytochemistry, Human Health and Molecular Mechanisms” aims to publish high-quality scientific contributions that provide novel insights into the impact of plant components, also known as phytochemicals, on human health. We welcome submissions with novel data on phytochemical bioaccessibility, bioavailability, absorption, metabolism, and bioactivity. Additionally, we are interested in stimulating debate on (facilitating conversations about) their effects on microbiota, their mechanisms of action, their improved formulation, and their safety of use as a food ingredient or additive. We will give special consideration to studies on the role of phytochemicals in key physiological functions and in the pathogenesis of human diseases. In addition, epidemiological studies that seek to identify the relationship between dietary intake of phytochemicals and the risk of disease also fall within the scope of this Section.
Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are eligible for inclusion.
