Feature Review on Plant Foods

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality review papers focused on foods derived from plants of common dietary interest, from unconventional edible plants to those formulated using the plant extracts of nutraceutical interest. We are welcoming proposals for review articles dealing with novel and/or underestimated typical plant foods. The articles are expected to address chemical characterization, formulation, supplement interactions and the impact on human health through direct or indirect assessment. Particularly, reviews on recent analytical approaches to extract, detect and quantify food bioactive and toxic components, bioaccessibility and bioavailability will be taken into consideration. Moreover, other topics that will be considered are food safety and food physicochemical properties. An emphasis will be placed on articles that focus on agri-food wastes as valuable sources of food and bioactive compounds, with a focus on eco-sustainability and circular economy.
