Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is estimated that approximately 5% of the global population lives with celiac disease and other conditions requiring a gluten-free diet. To address the needs of these individuals, in recent years, considerable progress has been made in developing gluten-free products that are more nutritious and palatable compared to the products available in the past. Nevertheless, the challenge of creating gluten-free cereal-based foods with enhanced nutritional and sensory qualities persists, and both industry and academic research are actively engaged in providing better gluten-free options to consumers.
Novel technological (i.e., innovative baking techniques) and biotechnological approaches, the use of alternative grains, the incorporation of novel ingredients to the recipes hold the potential to not only improve technological performance, but also enhance nutritional and sensory properties. Understanding the effects of these advancements on the quality of gluten-free cereal-based products can contribute significantly to overcoming this challenge.
In light of these considerations, this Special Issue aims to bring together the most recent and groundbreaking developments in the formulation of gluten-free cereal-based products.
