Biosensors for Food Quality and Safety Detection

Dear Colleagues,

Food quality and safety are vital to public health and industrial development. Traditional detection technologies currently face limitations such as low efficiency and insufficient sensitivity, making it imperative to adopt efficient and precise detection methods. This Special Issue focuses on the innovation and application of biosensor technology in food quality and safety testing, covering core areas including the development of novel biosensor materials, optimization of sensor structure design, and intelligent upgrading of detection methods. It addresses testing scenarios across all categories, from agricultural products and processed foods to cold-chain foods. We welcome original research papers, reviews, and technical briefs, including but not limited to applications of biosensors in detecting food contaminants (pesticide residues, heavy metals, microorganisms), analyzing nutritional components, assessing freshness, and related achievements in the industrialization of sensing technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Biosensors 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 2200 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.
