Special Issue on Plant Food and Clinical Nutrition

Plant Food and Clinical Nutrition focuses on the role of plant-based foods and bioactive compounds in promoting human health and managing clinical conditions. It emphasizes the integration of nutritional science, clinical research, and evidence-based dietary interventions to prevent and treat chronic diseases, improve metabolic and cardiovascular health, and support overall wellness. Contributions may explore mechanisms of action of phytochemicals, functional ingredients, nutrient bioavailability, personalized nutrition strategies, and clinical trials assessing plant-based diets or supplements. By bridging fundamental research and applied clinical practice, this issue aims to advance understanding of how plant-derived foods can contribute to effective nutritional therapy and public health outcomes.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Plant Food and Clinical Nutrition. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Dietary fibers from plants
• Edible algae and seaweeds
• Fruits and vegetables nutrition
• Functional plant foods
• Herbal foods and botanicals
• Legumes and pulses
• Nuts and seeds
• Phytochemicals in foods
• Phytonutrients and antioxidants
• Plant oils and fatty acids
• Plant-based beverages
• Plant-based bioactive compounds
• Plant-based food processing
• Plant-derived proteins
• Sustainable plant food sources
