Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Omics technologies provide a vast quantity of biological information pertaining to the molecular constituents of biological systems and their interactions, which help us to understand how such systems work. The application of high-throughput platforms has enabled researchers to accelerate the generation of biological knowledge, either at a basic level or with regard to application purposes. In foods, omics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and others) are extremely valuable for identifying molecules with biological activity (either peptides, small metabolites, or any other type) and those that may play a role in human health. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of both research and review papers involving the application of single or multi-omic approaches aiming to identify bioactive molecules in any kind of food matrix, as well as bioinformatic tools that can be employed for the identification and characterization of such molecules. This is an important field that could be of high interest to various disciplines: health, agroindustry, and even social sciences.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
