N2 - Biofunctional molecules with pharmacological activities are reported in various fields of application, including in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, agriculture, and food industries. Naturally derived bioactive compounds may be developed as therapeutic agents, functional foods, biosurfactants, feed additives, or cosmetical formulations. Bioactive molecules could be utilized as extracts, fractions, or isolated pure compounds, where they exhibit various biological effects, including the modulation of specific protein targets such as enzymes, ion channels, and receptors, as well as regulating cellular metabolism with a beneficial response. The use of biofunctional molecules and extracts has been associated with the maintenance and promotion of human health through the prevention and treatment of diseases. The Special Issue “Biofunctional Molecule Exploratory Research on Application in Food and Health” aimed to emphasize the value of natural products and their associated bioactive molecules, which can be used for the development of nutraceutical supplements and as potential cosmeceutical applications.
