Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of the Special Issue ‘Extraction, Identification and Isolation of Chemical Compounds in Natural Matrices’ was a real success. This edition included interesting work that characterized different natural matrices as rich sources of bioactive compounds. Several studies valued these matrices to explore their bioactive potential with a view to their application in different sectors ensuring the maintenance of health and well-being. After receiving so many interesting submissions in the first edition, we intend to publish a second edition. We consider it interesting to publish studies on the identification and isolation of bioactive molecules from different natural matrices that can guarantee the full potential of these sources. This can only be guaranteed if optimal conditions are defined that guarantee greater extractability of these compounds, identifying the most sustainable and innovative technological strategies.
In this sense, this second edition intends to bring together works on the natural matrices currently being explored that examine the characterization and identification of the compounds of interest as well as the definition of the optimal conditions for extracting these bioactive compounds. Additionally, exploration and application in different sectors, namely food, pharmaceuticals and textiles, may be investigated in this second edition of the Special Issue.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
