Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Immunoassays and immunosensors play critical roles in food safety and quality. These developments have allowed for the detection of food contaminants to be more efficient, less expensive, and portable. There are some promising techniques that may help to further these developments, including the use of new bioreceptors such as nanoantibodies, peptides, nanoenzymes, and microfluidic chips. In addition, deep learning has also been used to evaluate this field. These are interesting topics that we hope to discuss in this Special Issue.
This Special Issue, entitled “Application of Immunoassays and Immunosensors for Food Safety: Recent Developments and Future Trends”, aims to curate novel advances in the development and application of immunoassays and immunosensors in food safety detection. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development of immunoassays for food safety;
- Development of immunosensors for food safety;
- Noval bioreceptors for fabricating immunoassays and immunosensors;
- AI with immunoassays and immunosensors for food safety detection.

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. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
