Special Issue : Plant Antioxidants. Dear Colleagues,Oxidative processes are ubiquitous in nature and they play a pivotal role in sustaining life on our planet. Uncontrolled oxidation, however, may result in significant damage to biological systems and to the environment that can be dangerous and costly. Prevalence and propagation of serious diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and many heart conditions; deterioration of the environment; as well as spoilage of products and commodities are examples of the damaging effects of oxidation and oxidative species. The ability of some antioxidants to act as pro- oxidants further complicates the situation. Consequently, the discovery and development of safe and effective antioxidants has been a major area of scientific research and, although many such agents currently exist, the plant kingdom continue to offer new chemical entities that have potential as sustainable, safe and effective antioxidants. The purpose of this special issue of . This will be achieved through the contributions of experts in the field of plant antioxidant discovery and development. You are thus invited to submit an original research or review article to this issue that focuses on such topics as chemistry of plant antioxidants; evaluation of antioxidant activity; development of antioxidant assays; antioxidant mechanisms; chemoprevention; health, medicine and environmental applications of antioxidants, improving antixotidant content in plants and plant derived products; and other related topics.
