Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of statistic techniques and multivariate analysis in food chemistry, particularly for beverages, represents fundamental tools for determining chemical and physical profiles. The combination of analytical techniques and multivariate analysis allows the exploitation of the full potential of acquired data, sometimes revealing hidden information.
All interested authors are welcome to publish research papers and/or reviews based on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Stratistical analyses of data with the aim to determine chemical and physical fingerprints. These can include partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and variable important plots (VIP plots).
- Statistical analyses aimed to classify beverages through the grouping of experimental data in representative clusters. It can include principal component analysis (PCA) and other supervised data treatment methods.
- Data analyses for the development of quality assessment procedures and validation of statistical models for beverage characterization.
- Application of the Design of Experiments (DoE) approach to the analysis of data arising from analytical studies regarding beverages. This can include explorative full factorial designs, analysis of factors, and surface responding studies.
- Metabolomic analysis applied for the detection of recurrent and characteristic chemicals in beverages.
- Analysis of sensorial data for the classification, quality assessment, and market evaluation of beverages.

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. Beverages is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
