Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety increasingly requires innovation in the analytical field through the implementation of new methods capable of guaranteeing reliable control of foods of animal and plant origin. For these reasons, this Special Issue aims to provide updates on the new analytical protocols for the detection of dangerous substances in agri-food products, with an emphasis on fish products. The Special Issue encourages work related to analytical chemistry applied to food safety. Manuscripts on multiresidue procedures are especially welcome. The Special Issue also welcomes reviews on analytical methods for the detection of food contaminants and food pathogens. This Special Issue encourages the submission of research papers on the use of LC–HRMS for the detection of food contaminants in fish products. We welcome different types of manuscript submissions, including original research articles and up-to-date reviews.
Studies on food microbiology and molecular biology associated with food safety are also welcome. The Special Issue aims to provide new insights on the molecular biology applied to food safety (CRISPR/Cas, LAMP, etc.).
Finally, this Special Issue welcomes studies on the risk assessment of agri-food products.

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.
