About This Topic

Functional foods are considered as a food category with increased scientific interest, due to its possible beneficial effects on human health.  The aim of this special issue is to present recent studies about the role of functional foods and bioactive compounds on disease prevention and health promotion, and recent scientific evidence about the bioavailability of their bioactive compounds. We welcome papers reporting latest evidence-based results of the effect of functional foods bioactivity and bioavailability based on in vitro studies, animal experiments, nutritional interventions, epidemiological studies, and review articles.
