Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The primary purpose of food analysis is to assess the quality of food products, which is determined by their chemical and biological composition and the method of production. Research in this field is focused on not only the determination of nutritional components, such as sugars, proteins, fats, vitamins, or minerals, but also other components, including functional additives. An important task in food analysis is the detection and assessment of substances harmful to health, as well as compounds that may indicate adulteration or contamination of food products. The thematic scope of this Special Issue includes articles on the development of new, effective methods of food sample preparation and modern, reliable measurement methods for determining food ingredients. In addition, we welcome thematically related studies on the detection and determination of yet untested or poorly tested substances relevant to human health. All original articles, communications, systematic reviews, and mini reviews on the above topics can be submitted to this Special Issue.
Dr. Justyna Dobrowolska-Iwanek
