Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biogenic amines (BAs) are biomolecules, mostly known for their toxic and carcinogenic effects. Commonly, they are used as an indicator of quality preservation in food and beverages since their presence in higher concentrations is associated with poor quality.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to improve understanding around methodologies and new development technologies used for the detection and quantification of BAs in fresh and processed food matrixes as well as in beverages.
Analytical methods used for the quantification of BA are mainly based on chromatographic methods, thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Biosensors have proven to be quite successful, as they are sensitive and robust devices providing a simple, economical, and fast alternative in the detection of BAs
Full papers, communications, and reviews are welcome. Reviews must offer a critical overview of the state-of-the-art on fundamentals, technologies, and applications.
In this sense, we encourage the submission of manuscripts dedicated to the detection of BAs. Topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
- Analytical determinations;
- Gas chromatography;
- High-performance liquid chromatography;
- Biosensors;
- Fibre-optic sensing configurations;
- UV, VIS, and NIR spectroscopy;
- Electrochemical sensors;
- Colorimetric approaches.

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 2400 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.
