Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Everyday life has made consumers genuinely concerned about the origin of the products they consume. Therefore, green technologies are overly requested in industrial processing for developing more and more products with a high-quality standard. One of these green technologies is the use of supercritical and pressurized fluids, which may be used in one or several stages of industrial processing.
This Special Issue intends to cover various aspects of supercritical technology applied to food, fuel, natural products, pharmaceuticals and materials processing. The manuscripts should focus on (the) extraction, particle formation, hydrolysis, gasification, reactions and catalysis, among other processes that employ high-pressure technologies in an environmentally friendly way. Submissions on the uses of supercritical chromatography and hyphenated methods with supercritical fluids and pressurized liquids for food and drugs quality assessment are welcome. Modeling, survey papers and reviews are also welcomed.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
