Welcome from the Chairs
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the first International Conference on Antioxidants: Sources, Methods, Health Benefits, and Industrial Applications.
The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journal Antioxidants (Impact Factor 7.675) and will be held as a three-day event in Barcelona, Spain, 10-12 May, 2023.
Antioxidants represent a huge area of investigation for researchers from many disciplines, and their importance in a variety of fields from health to food to innovative materials is increasingly appreciated.
Despite the enormous amount of research work related to this issue, our knowledge needs to be improved on the mechanism of action, the bioaccesibility and bioavailability of dietary antioxidants, oxidative stress and antioxidant defence systems, antioxidant-based therapeutic strategies, antioxidant functional food, and the design of biomaterials with antioxidant properties for use in biomedical applications or functional packaging. We have to continue pursuing the search for new natural sources of antioxidants while shifting toward sustainable methodologies for their extraction, and, finally, we need to standardize and validate the methods for their analysis and for evaluating and ranking the antioxidant power.
The main topics and sessions of the conference will cover:
- Health Outcomes of Antioxidants and Oxidative Stress with special emphasis on: cancer, cardiovascular diseases, microbiome and gut health, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative pathologies, cognitive function and physical exercise and oxidative stress
- Antioxidant Enzyme Systems with special emphasis on: ROS, RNS, and RSS; mitochondria; redox signaling; photooxidative stress and Metalloenzymes
- Natural Antioxidants: Sources, Analysis, and Mechanisms of Action with special emphasis on: occurrence, profiling, analytical methods, bioavailability, and new methodologies for antioxidant power evaluation
- Natural Antioxidants: Sustainable Methodologies for Recovery and Processing with special emphasis on: new eco-friendly methodologies, agrifood wastes and by products, transformation to impart functionality, new materials, nanoparticles and industrial applications
The conference will host a number of internationally renowned speakers and invites submissions for oral presentations and posters. We wish the meeting may offer a unique opportunity for direct communication between scholars, favoring personal contacts between younger and experienced researchers on advanced research topics and technological issues.
All presenters at the conference will be encouraged to submit a full manuscript of their presentation for consideration for publication in a Special Issue of Antioxidants .
We look forward to seeing you at this exciting meeting in Barcelona.

Here Prof Viña combines his teaching duties with research work, the latter in two main lines, ageing and exercise. José Viña leads a successful research group named FRESHAGE working on different aspects of ageing, including healthy ageing, exercise and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr Viña’s work has been acknowledged by his peers.

Does endogenous antioxidant system indeed require support from exogenous antioxidants to maintain redox homeostasis?
Agnieszka Bartoszek graduated from Gdansk University of Technology in Gdansk, Poland. In 1990, she was awarded PhD degree in organic chemistry; in 2012 received habilitation in biotechnology and in 2020 the title of professor in exact and natural sciences. Prof. Bartoszek currently holds the position of Full Professor at the Department of Food Chemistry, Technology and Biotechnology at Gdańsk University of Technology (Poland). Initially, her research interests were centered around antitumor compounds interacting with DNA. This scientific area was gradually replaced by the environmental, in particular dietary, risk factors of cancer, to finally embrace dietary prevention of civilization diseases. This research concentrated on chemopreventive potential of dietary phytochemicals and resulted in the cooperation with food industry to design and to elaborate the technology of health oriented functional produces enriched with plant antioxidant bioactives. Another recently undertaken research deals with nutritional importance of dietary nucleic acids. The more theoretical area of her research concerns chemical and electrochemical properties of antioxidants found in plant foods and their impact on cellular redox homeostasis. Prof. Bartoszek is author or coauthor of over 100 scientific publications and chapters in textbooks.

Venue, Travel and Accommodation
Venue
BARCELONA
Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia and is Spain's second largest city, with a population of over one and half million people.
Located on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, this city has a rich and diverse history, with its roots dating back to Roman times. The fruitful medieval period established Barcelona's position as the economic and political centre of the Western Mediterranean. The city's Gothic Quarter bears witness to the splendour enjoyed by the city from the 13th to the 15th centuries.
The 20th century ushered in widespread urban renewal throughout Barcelona city, culminating in its landmark Eixample district, which showcases some of Barcelona's most distinctive Catalan art-nouveau, or modernista, buildings. The Catalan Antoni Gaudí, one of the most eminent architects, designed buildings such as La Pedrera, the Casa Batlló and the Sagrada Família church, which have become world-famous landmarks.
In 1992, Barcelona gained international recognition by hosting the Olympic games which brought about a massive upturn in its tourism industry. For visitors, this has translated into the very modern, yet incredibly old city you see now in the 21st century, where new elements work to both preserve and celebrate both the city’s heritage and origins.
Barcelona is plenty of outdoor markets, restaurants, shops, museums, and churches. The city is also very walkable, with an extensive and reliable Metro system for more far-flung destinations.
