Sub-optimal air quality and thermal environment can put a significant stress on animals resulting in compromised health, welfare and production performance of various livestock species. This special issue will bring together research related to the assessment, monitoring, modelling, abatement and general management of environmental stressors. Contributors are also especially encouraged to focus on quantifying the effects of environmental stressors (both air quality and thermal environment) on the health, welfare and production status of livestock species.

The use of fresh and dried and edible flowers to prepare teas, improve the taste and aesthetic of foods and drinks has increased worldwide. A variety of edible flowers is used as ingredients of exotic drinks, in raw salads and fruit derived products, as well as composing salty dishes or desserts. Edible flowers are generally appreciated by consumers because make foods glam up providing vibrancy and exotic flavors to meals. Special attention has been devoted to these products because their potential as new sources of bioactive compounds and the evidences of their beneficial health properties. However, the popularization of edible flowers among consumers raises to concerns about their safety, first because their visual similarity with poisonous flowers, which requires proper identification, and secondly, because they has been cited as vehicle of foodborne pathogens. The lack of official lists of edible flowers, or requirements for their safe cultivation and market also catch attention of researches regarding the safety aspects of edible flowers consumption.

Considering the above aspects, Food Research International is inviting authors to submit unpublished original contributions, critical review articles and short communications for consideration in the special issue “Edible flowers: diversity, bioactive compounds, functionality, safety and quality issues”. This special issue will focus on the nutritional composition, bioactive compounds and associated bioactivity of edible flowers, as well as on the sensory aspects related to their use. Additionally, it will address safety and quality issues associated to cultivation, distribution, storage and handling of edible flowers.

Topics covered in this special issue include, but are not limited to:

- Major and minor components of edible flowers;

- Anti-nutritional or toxic compounds of edible flowers;

- Bioactive compounds of edible flowers;

- In vitro and experimental studies exploring the functionality of edible flowers;

- Consumer studies and sensory aspects of edible flowers;

- Microbiological quality and safety of edible flowers;

- Microbiome and microbiota in edible flowers;

- Influence of on-farm and post-harvest practices on edible flowers quality and composition;

- Proteomics, metabolomics and other omics applied to study edible flowers;

- Specificities in analysis of major and minor components of edible flowers;

- Emerging technologies applied to preserve edible flowers;
