Nowadays, plant extracts are increasingly becoming important additives in the food industry due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities that delay the development of off-flavors and improve the shelf life and color stability of food products. Due to their natural origin, they are excellent candidates to replace synthetic compounds, which are generally considered to have toxicological and carcinogenic effects. The efficient extraction of these compounds from their natural sources and the determination of their activity in commercialized products have been great challenges for researchers and food chain contributors to develop products with positive effects on human health. The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the existing evidence regarding the various potential benefits of the consumption of plant extracts and plant-extract-based products, with emphasis on in vivo works and epidemiological studies, the application of plant extracts to improving shelf life, the nutritional and health-related properties of foods, and the extraction techniques that can be used to obtain bioactive compounds from plant extracts. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 610 $agut microbiota 610 $anatural products 610 $adiabetes mellitus 610 $acomplications 610 $amechanisms 610 $apepper 610 $afermentation 610 $ahyperglycemia 610 $aangiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition 610 $aantioxidant 610 $aBerberis 610 $afood preservative 610 $aalkaloid 610 $ahuman health 610 $aandrographolide 610 $areversed-phase liquid chromatography 610 $aquantitative analysis 610 $amethod validation 610 $aanti-inflammatory activity 610 $aphenolic acids 610 $aemulsions 610 $aantioxidants 610 $ahealth properties 610 $amultidrug resistance 610 $adoxorubicin 610 $aMRSA 610 $aquorum sensing 610 $abiofilm 610 $arice bran 610 $apolyphenols 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $ainflammation 610 $aanti-inflammatory 610 $aSideritis raeseri subsp. raeseri 610 $aessential oil 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $aantiproliferative activity 610 $aEuphorbia hirta L. 610 $abioactive compounds 610 $ain vitro ?-amylase inhibition 610 $astreptozotocin-induced diabetic mice 610 $aJujube 610 $ahydrolysis 610 $aanti-inflammation 610 $alung 610 $aNF-?B 610 $aNrf2 610 $aHO-1 610 $aKadsura spp. 610 $afruit parts 610 $aphenolics 610 $aantioxidant capacity 610 $ain vitro health properties 610 $abud-derivatives 610 $abotanicals 610 $aUV-Visible spectroscopic fingerprint 610 $achemometrics 610 $atargeted chromatographic fingerprint 610 $atomato pomace 610 $aextraction 610 $aplatelet 610 $aultrasound 610 $afunctional ingredient 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aFood & society 700 $aProestos$b Charalampos$4edt$01297533 702 $aProestos$b Charalampos$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557428003321 996 $aThe Benefits of Plant Extracts for Human Health$93024507 997 $aUNINA
