Moreno (Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, University of Granada, Spain, 2000), current position as Scientific Researcher in the Phytochemistry and Healthy Foods Laboratory of the Food Science and Technology Department at CEBAS-CSIC (Spanish National Research Council), member of the Research Group on the Quality, Safety and Bioactivity of Plant Foods (CSIC # 641446). Previous positions as CSIC Staff Scientist (2008–2018), postdoctoral associate in CEBAS-CSIC (2005-2007), and in the Raskin Lab at Rutgers University in New Jersey (USA), from 2001 to 2004. Research interests include foods of plant origin enriched in bioactive and bioavailable phytochemicals and nutrients (glucosinolates, polyphenolics, minerals, vitamins, etc.), designing integrated studies from plants to food and health, and the valorization of agro-food waste to obtain bioactives for industry. Author and coauthor of more than 170 papers in journals (S.C.I.; Scopus-ID 56962713400, h-index 33), Ph.D. adviser, and scientific coordinator and researcher in many competitive projects at the national and international level. Currently active R&D and innovation projects focused on the development of new functional beverages enriched with bioactive phytochemicals to modulate the energy metabolism (inflammation, glucose and lipid metabolism) and improve cognitive performance. Nebojsa Ilic (Ph.D. in Plant biology and biochemistry, University of Maryland, USA, 2000), currently, Senior Research Fellow, Associate Director for Science, Institute for Food Technology, FINS, Novi Sad, Serbia. Performing research in the area of food and health, particularly in the field of functional foods, health supplements and food safety. Discovering and investigating novel functional food ingredients and their incorporation into food products. Chemical, microbiological and sensory analysis of new functional products. Special areas of interest are natural products and bioactive molecules for the treatment of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and inflammation. Participated in several EU funded projects as part of the FP7 and Horizon 2020 programs. vii foods Editorial Functional and Bioactive Properties of Food: The Challenges Ahead Diego A.

The evidence presented in the participating papers is still not enough to demonstrate causality and functionality because the multifactorial conditions of the diseases (which are not related to a single effect or compound) are still a big challenge for this generation of scientists involved in the research of bioactives from foods for nutrition and health. The principle of “safety first” clearly drives the research on bioactive compounds of natural origin to be incorporated in food and feed formulas for health and wellbeing. Besides bioaccessibility and the demonstration of biological activity, it is clear that an early positive result in any new development would clear up any safety or toxicology issues. One example is the use of ginger rhizome in early pregnancy [1]. More research is needed regarding its efficacy and safety, even though the available data suggests that ginger is a safe and effective treatment for nausea and vomiting in women during early pregnancy [1]. On the other hand, daily food consumption could lead to unexpected exposure of contaminants, such as heavy metals, and the use of plant-derived food formulas could help in the reduction of damage in the human body through different mechanisms of detoxification, as in the use of Selenium-enriched rice grass juice to overcome Cadmium (Cd) contamination in foods [2], even though the evidence is generated in vitro and further developments are expected in the future.
