Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A balanced and nutritious diet plays a crucial role in maintaining health throughout life by providing our bodies with the necessary nutrients, energy and building blocks. It is important to understand the composition, structure and properties of food components, as well as the chemical changes that occur during food production, storage and consumption that can affect its quality, safety and nutritional value. This is even more important today as we face busy lifestyles and environmental issues that have profound implications for human health. The food of today, and even more so the food of the future, must not only be nutritious and safe, but also produced in a sustainable manner. Accurate and reliable analysis is critical for food quality control, regulatory compliance, and consumer safety. In addition, maintaining high food safety standards helps protect consumers from harmful environmental contaminants and pathogens. Innovative technologies refer to novel or advanced methods, processes, and equipment used in food production to improve efficiency, extend food shelf life, increase nutritional content, create new textures and flavors, etc. In addition, the adoption of innovative, sustainable, and resource-efficient food production practices can minimize the negative impact of food production on the environment while promoting biodiversity and conserving natural resources.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of important research in the field of food chemistry, food analysis, and innovative technologies for food production.

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). 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.
