Special Issue Description

People’s livelihoods depend on food in numerous ways. Over 800 million people still go to bed hungry even though the globe generates enough food for everyone. Additionally, almost 60% of fatalities are caused by diseases linked to starvation and malnutrition. One of the biggest problems facing humanity is ending hunger and malnutrition. Additionally, food sufficiency is not the most important factor; food nutritional quality and, in particular, the impacts of the accepted meal portion, are equally important. From this vantage point, the subject of the current review of antinutrients presents crucial issues related to human health and advances our knowledge of what individuals consume and its potential outcomes. Antinutritional factors are generally linked to natural or manmade molecules or substances that prevent nutrients from being absorbed, diminish nutrient intake, digestion, and utilization, and may have other negative effects. Antinutrients are naturally produced in plants and are commonly associated with plant-based, raw, or vegan diets. Numerous antinutrients in the body can cause a variety of symptoms, including bloating, headaches, rashes, nutritional deficits, and nausea. On the other hand, these chemicals can be beneficial to humanity when used sensibly. In actuality, plants predominantly use antinutrients for self-defense. Ample food processing is originally advised to eliminate antinutritional components even though people’s sensitivity to antinutrients varies greatly. Antinutrients cannot be removed from the body after they have been ingested. The relationship between symptoms and effects on human health can be resolved by removing and reinstating particular foods that contain antinutrients. In this context, research is interested in the biochemical impacts of anti-nutritional factors. Some secondary metabolites are frequently used in nutrition and as pharmacologically active substances, however, the majority of them behave as anti-nutrients and cause very damaging biological reactions .

Manuscript Submission information

Manuscripts should be submitted online via the manuscript Engine. Once you register on APID, 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 email address:[email protected] 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 Double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for the submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
