Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food properties and composition depend on several factors, such as raw material quality and also technology applied for the processing of these materials.
The aim of biotechnological processes is to transform raw materials into products with specific properties and stability. These operations can affect every ingredient of the raw material, resulting in chemical, structural and organoleptic changes in the final product.
Subjects discussed in this Special Issue will be related to the biotechnological production of novel plant food and the influence of applied processes on main compounds (fats, proteins, carbohydrates) as well as minor phytochemicals (e.g., polyphenols, vitamins, phytosterols, pigments, squalene) contained in raw materials. Papers dealing with the biotechnological improvement of plant product stability also fit the scope of the Special Issue.

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.
