Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The food industry is developing dynamically in order to meet the challenges posed by consumers and the changing world. Nowadays, consumers demand that food products should be comfortable, varied, have a sufficient shelf life, and, at the same time, be healthy and safe. Other important considerations are those related to the health and environmental impacts of food processing. Additionally, consumers support safer and environmentally friendly technologies in the production of new food products. The growing human population also forces the search for new sources of food. Insects are becoming an interesting alternative to conventional sources of nutrients, such as proteins.

The purpose of this Special Issue of Applied Sciences is to present current, original scientific articles as well as review articles on new and emerging technologies (e.g., high pressure, pulsed electric field, ultrasound, and cold plasma processing) for obtaining products with high nutritional value and the use of unconventional raw materials, such as insects, in 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 papers will be 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.
