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 researches in 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 welcomed. Emphasis is also placed on
publishing articles focusing on the investigations about 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 forms of use in foods of bioactive
compounds and synergies between compounds are also of interest for Letters in
Functional Foods. Likewise the use of probiotics and prebiotics in any forms in
food, whether already present or added, and their evaluation of the effects on
any human parameter, microbiomes included, are well received too. Finally, any
food related influence in nutrigenetic, nutrigenomic, epigenetic,
transcriptomics, metabolomics or metagenomics are also welcome.
