Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Consumer demand for high-quality foods, which are nutritional, safe, and convenient, has led to interest in the use of innovative processing technologies. The introduction of these new technologies, such as non-thermal or alternative technologies, can also reduce processing time and improve industrial operating conditions, resulting in high-quality products that better preserve their fresh-like characteristics. The main purpose of this Special Issue, ‘Application of Innovative Technologies for Improving Food Quality and Safety: 2nd Edition’, is to provide high-quality manuscripts regarding the use of innovative technologies and discuss their impact on food nutritional quality, sensory aspects, safety, and other related factors.
