Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of innovative approaches can make food processing and analysis more convenient and efficient. In recent years, the improvement of food processing and analytical approaches has received great attention, especially biotechnological approaches. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide some new (1) biotechnological approaches for the biotransformation of food ingredients, the enhancement of food bioactive compounds, and the bioconversion of food waste; (2) methods for the extraction, separation, purification, detection, and analysis of food ingredients; and (3) technologies to ensure food quality and safety in food processing.
We welcome both original research and review articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Innovative approaches for biotransformation of food ingredients from microorganisms, insects, plants, and animals;
- Innovative approaches for the intensification of food bioactive compounds;
- Innovative approaches for the bioconversion of energy resources from food waste;
- Innovative approaches for the detection and analysis of food ingredients;
- Innovative approaches for the extraction, separation, and purification of food ingredient;
- Innovative approaches for food quality and safety control in food processing.

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.
