Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal Foods, titled "Application of Advanced Methodologies in Food Quality and Safety Evaluation", which presents recent developments in using advanced methodologies and approaches in evaluating food quality and safety.
Food analysis is a research field to provide information regarding various food-related aspects: namely, chemical characterization, safety, quality, origin, traceability, and organoleptic properties. All these aspects have significant implications concerning nutrition, health, the economy, and culture. The determination of these features requires the use of even more advanced, decisive and discriminating approaches. Spectroscopic, spectrometric and chromatographic analysis are the main methods, each with strengths and limitations. For this reason, it is very important to use multi-methodological approaches that allow a more complete chemical profile to be obtained, as well as improvements in extraction and instrumental performances. Moreover, applying chemometric analysis guarantees the processing of large amounts of information.
The present Special Issue aims to gather papers covering the latest research trends for applying innovative analysis approaches to evaluations of food quality and safety.

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 2900 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.
