Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue in Metabolites is focused on the “Application of NMR in Food Metabolomics”. Food metabolomics constitutes an efficient approach to monitoring fluctuations in metabolites in food items in order to delineate molecular and biochemical mechanisms that underline acute metabolic changes in environmental stimuli.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the main analytical platforms used in metabolomics. In particular, NMR spectroscopy is an analytical, high-throughput, high-resolution technique that is rapidly improving in speed, quality, and cost and has proven to be an invaluable tool for the quality assurance of food items. The implementation of such a ‘‘holistic’’ method enables unbiased exploration and examination of a sample’s molecular biochemistry and, through suitable interpretation, it can be used to study metabolites’ responses to environmental changes. These advances in NMR metabolomics may facilitate the identification of key characteristics of food items and enable comprehensive profiling, thereby addressing geographical origin, authenticity, quality, and integrity issues.
Therefore, for this Special Issue, we invite research results and/or quality reviews on new challenges and new technological approaches related to the application of NMR in food metabolomics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
