Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Safe and efficient detection methods are important means to ensure food safety. Compared with traditional detection methods, rapid detection technology based on biosensors has significant advantages in detection speed, portability, and convenience. If the detection sensitivity, accuracy, and stability of biosensors can be further improved, their application scope will be further expanded, especially in achieving rapid and effective detection of trace toxic and harmful substances in food, which will more effectively ensure food safety. Biological enzymes or biomimetic enzymes have a strong specificity. With this, introducing them into biosensors can simplify preprocessing and effectively improve detection performance, such as in sensitivity and accuracy. Furthermore, the use of highly specific detection methods for the precise detection and quantification of food samples is of great significance.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The design of electrochemical, fluorescent, immunoelectrochemistry, colorimetric and other biosensors based on biological enzymes for food analysis.
- Establishing a detection method based on enzyme biosensorsfor the rapid determination of real-world samples.
- The development of enzyme-based biosensors in food quality assurance.

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).
