Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand for high-quality sustainable foods with no chemical additives is increasing worldwide. However, reconciling this demand for food with such attributes is challenging for the scientific community and food industries, owing to the high complexity and variability inherent to food products and technologies. This Special Issue comprises applying green technologies to enhance food safety and quality by considering microbiological, physicochemical, sensorial, and toxicological parameters referring to food characterization, authenticity, traceability, preservation, and processing. Innovative studies focusing on eco-friendly and cost-effective technologies for ensuring food quality and origin and maintaining or improving food quality attributes are welcome. Research articles, reviews, communications, and concept papers will be accepted in this section.
