Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, manuscripts are expected to be high-quality, original research representing complete studies and scientific advances relevant to food quality and safety.
User-friendly food technology, including, but not limited to, electrochemical sensing, fluorescence analysis, colorimetric sensing, and Raman detection, will have the advantages of temporariness, easy operation, minimal analytical residues, portability, and reliability for molecular understandings of food systems, eventually bringing benefitting public protection in resource-deficient settings.
Moreover, we encourage the submission of manuscripts encompassing the point-of-use tracking of food processing, complex components, and hazardous substances, such as food additives, pesticide residues, and heavy metal pollution.
Research considered for publication should be of general interest to the scientific community and/or the public, its potential impact should be significant, and the technical quality is expected to conform to the highest standards of monitoring food quality and safety.
Dr. Xinai Zhang
Guest Editor
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.
