Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The planned Special Issue on “New Methods in Food Processing and Analysis” should present cutting-edge advancements in food processing and analysis, presenting a comprehensive overview of new methods that could possibly change the food industry. The collection of articles should showcase innovative techniques that enhance efficiency, safety, and quality in food production. Topics of interest range from novel processing technologies, such as high-pressure processing, pulsed electric fields, and advanced thermal treatments, to state-of-the-art (in- and offline) analytical tools, including spectroscopy, tomography, chromatography, and molecular techniques and the use of artificial intelligence. Researchers and industry experts can contribute insights into how these methods address contemporary challenges, such as sustainability, traceability, and authenticity in the food supply chain. This Special Issue should serve as a valuable resource for professionals, academics, and policymakers seeking to stay abreast of the latest developments shaping the future of food processing and analysis.
