Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, innovative technologies in the field of food microbiology have developed rapidly. This has focussed the attention of food professionals on the development of non-thermal technologies that are environmentally friendly and safe. This Special Issue aims to highlight the synergy between advanced microbiological techniques, non-thermal technologies and other technologies to discover new solutions and methods for the sustainable production of food and fermented foods. In addition, it will explore the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of microorganisms, especially bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi, as well as new technologies that can impact food safety and quality and promise significant technological advances for sustainable food systems.
