Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Faced with global resource scarcity and environmental issues, traditional agricultural food processing is encountering significant challenges. In response, the concept of sustainable development has emerged as a crucial solution. Starch-based foods, such as rice, noodles, cookies, etc., are the foundation of people’s daily diet and play an important role in sustainable agricultural food processing. The selection of raw materials; processing methods;changes in nutritional composition and quality; and comprehensive utilization of by-products in starch-based food processing are all of great concern to us. Additionally, the submission of interdisciplinary research studies is highly encouraged, such as those discussing food science, biology, chemistry, agriculture, and environmental science.
We look forward to your submissions.
