Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Given the growing awareness of the importance and chemical diversity of bioactive components, their application is rapidly expanding across the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors. Consequently, it is vital that we develop efficient extraction and purification methods that maximize component yields. The yield of bioactive components is influenced by various factors, such as the solvent and sample characteristics, solid-to-liquid ratio, extraction time, and temperature. Therefore, these parameters are frequently optimized for specific groups of compounds or for individual compounds to enhance the extraction efficiency. However, even if the efficiency of extraction is increased, purification still presents substantial challenges due to different impurities in extracts, interference from other compounds, and the need to preserve the stability and activity of the bioactive compounds. The extracts usually require additional concentration and purification steps, which often lead to reduced yields of the desired bioactive substances.

For this Special Issue on “Extraction, Separation, and Purification of Bioactive Compounds”, we welcome submissions of high-quality work focusing on extraction and purification methods that provide possible solutions to the numerous shortcomings of conventional extraction and purification techniques. This Special Issue will also cover recent advances in the development and application of novel solvents in extraction, as well as innovative extraction and purification techniques.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • the extraction, separation, and purification of bioactive compounds;
  • innovative extraction and purification techniques in bioactive compounds;
  • the development and application of novel solvents for extraction;
  • the optimization of extraction, separation, or purification processes;
  • the influence of extraction and purification parameters on extraction yield.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI'sEnglish editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
