Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green chemistry has emerged due to the importance of the use of processes that are environmentally friendly. For extracting natural products, greener and more sustainable alternatives to traditional methods have been explored over the last decade. The knowledge generated by this topic can help society change its habits and behaviors, showing us how certain products and attitudes pose more risks to nature than others. This knowledge also ties into Sustainable Development Goals 2; 11; and, more specifically, 12, which deal with sustainable production and consumption. In this sense, with the aim of providing a new and novel knowledge base via green chemistry for natural products, we would like to invite researchers to participate in this Special Issue. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on approaches to improve and accelerate extraction efficiency and reduce solvent consumption, such as solvent-based techniques, deep euteric solvents (DES), ultrasound-assisted extraction and microwave-assisted extraction, as well as supercritical fluid extraction and pressurized solvent extraction. However, other related research is highly encouraged. Authors are cordially invited to contribute original research articles as well as review articles. All research will be published as Open Access.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
