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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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).

Consumers have become more aware of the impact of nutrition on health, paying attention to the composition and origin of food and looking for natural products. There is a trend towards a “healthy” diet with low-energy foods and a preference for healthier alternatives. This study aimed to assess the technological quality and food safety of very-low-sugar apple jams with steviol glycosides substituting sugar in various quantities. Apple jam variants with SG substitution at concentrations of 30, 50, and 80% selected in preliminary studies were subjected to physicochemical, sensory, and microbiological analyses during storage for 3 and 6 months. The studied jams were sensorily acceptable, and no significant changes in the technological quality of the products were observed, apart from color darkening. The microbiological quality during storage for 3 and 6 months was also satisfactory. The use of a natural sweetener, steviol glycosides, in the production of apple jam was shown to be satisfactory. It resulted in a product with taste and odor similar to conventional jam but with a low energy value. This product is suitable for people with diabetes, people on a restrictive diet, or those who pay attention to a product’s natural features, in line with the clean-label trend. Full article
