Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food is a very crucial source that provides essential amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional compounds, supporting humans’ daily activity, energy, and nutritional requirements. There is an increasing concern about the quality and safety of food and agricultural products using innovative, effective, and quantitative inspection methods. Consequently, technologies that can significantly improve and non-invasively detect the quality of foodstuffs are urgently needed. Chemometrics analysis, as essential form of access to mine spectral data and explicate the relationship between measured parameters and spectral data, has been comprehensively utilized in spectral data analysis. In recent decades, mainly benchtop devices coupled with chemometrics analysis have been used for developing at-line methods for qualitative and quantitative control. Simple, rapid, and more accurate models are in high demand.
This Special Issue will focus on applying the latest novel non-invasive technologies in tandem with chemometrics analysis to ensure and maintain the safety and quality of agri-food products. All types of articles, such as original research studies, numerical studies, and comprehensive reviews on the current state of the art and emerging non-destructive technologies, are welcome.

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).
