Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lipid oxidation is the main cause of chemical degradation of foods, cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, which decreases their commercial value and deteriorates their sensory, nutritional and physical properties. For these reasons, lipid oxidation and antioxidants continues to be an important, high relevance research topic for both academia and industry. Results on antioxidants were initially extrapolated uncritically from bulk oil to multiphase systems but after their use in these more complex systems, it was quickly percieved that the antioxidant efficiency of molecules depends on numerous factors, which at the moment are not yet well understood. The compartmentalization effect in multiphase systems has a crucial role in controlling antioxidant efficiency and a careful choice of the parameters controlling the antioxidant partitioning is key to controling the antioxidant availability at the oxidation reaction site.
Based on your contribution to the antioxidants community, we would like to invite you to submit an article for consideration in the upcoming Special Issue of Molecules on “Antioxidants in Multiphase Systems”. This issue aims to advance our current knowledge and will help the development of more efficient antioxidant strategies for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical product preservation, and for the oxidative protection of nutritionally important bioactive compounds such as phytochemicals, lipids and proteins. This Special Issue aims to be an open forum where researchers may share their results and findings in this field and, thanks to the open access platform, increase their visibility and possability of interactition with industries and with the production systems. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research or review articles, may cover all aspects of antioxidants in multiphase systems.

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. Molecules 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.
