Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enzymes have unsurpassed physicochemical, biological and biocatalytic functionalities, allowing biocatalysis with selectivity and specificity in the conversion of raw materials. For this reason, the food industry has taken advantage of enzymes as green catalysts to extract bioactive substances, improve sensory, taste, and texture properties, produce nutrient-rich foods, and eliminate food safety hazards. Enzymes offer several benefits over traditional catalytic agents with respect to process efficiency, sustainability, reuse, and cost–benefit ratio.
With a central focus on the food industry, this Special Issue seeks to explore emerging challenges, opportunities, trends, and approaches in the development of biocatalytic procedures, as well as the enzymatic engineering of innovative biocatalysts.

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. Catalysts 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.
