Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The United Nations (UN) adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda in September 2015. High standards of safe, nutritious, and affordable food are aligned with the 2030 Agenda goals. From “farm to fork” biotechnology can be used to improve food safety and quality. This Special Issue is devoted to topics focused on biotechnology approaches in pre- and post-harvesting of produce, food processing and preservation technologies, and methods for monitoring food safety and quality.
Consequently, this Special Issue, “Biotechnology Approaches in Food Preservation and Food Safety”, will cover a selection of original research and current review articles related to the use of novel biotechnology approaches to monitoring food safety and quality.
