Letters in Functional Foods

Aims & Scope

Letters in Functional Foods publishes original research articles, short communications, letters, and mini-reviews. In addition, thematic issues are also published. The latest research on healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients are of particular interest, along with nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages. Studies on the use of supplements, food ingredients, and naturally functional food and their relationship with consumer health are also welcome.

Emphasis is also placed on publishing articles focusing on investigations into the effects of novel foods as well as their compounds on human health related to non-transmissible chronic diseases such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. The discovery of new ways of using bioactive compounds in foods and synergies between compounds are also of interest to Letters in Functional Foods. Likewise, the use of probiotics and prebiotics in any form in food, whether already present or added, and their evaluation of the effects on any human parameter, including microbiomes, are also well received. Finally, any food-related influences on nutrigenetics, nutrigenomics, epigenetics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, or metagenomics are also welcome.
