Advances of Novel Technologies in Food Analysis and Food Safety

Dear Colleagues,

The safety and quality of food products have become central concerns in today’s globalized food industry. As consumer awareness and regulatory standards continue to rise, there is an increasing demand for innovative, efficient, and rapid analytical techniques to ensure food safety and quality. The integration of novel technologies into food analysis presents a critical opportunity to enhance our ability to detect contaminants, monitor food integrity, and improve food packaging solutions, ultimately safeguarding public health and consumer confidence. This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, reviews, and short communications that highlight recent advancements in the application of novel technologies for food analysis and food safety. We are particularly interested in studies that address new methodologies for rapid detection, innovative sensor systems (e.g., colorimetric sensors), and improvements in food packaging to preserve quality.
