Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Almost eight billion people live on Earth, and that number is constantly increasing, leading to an increasing food demand. In recent years, there has been a growing need in the food industry, and among consumers, for instruments that can ensure the quality and origin of meals. This includes confirming the composition of the food and detecting any instances of fraud or misrepresentation. Multivariate data analysis is a crucial technique for examining extensive and intricate datasets, and it is widely used in several scientific fields, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. Metabolomic studies provide valuable insights into enhancing nutritional and functional characteristics, preventing foodborne illnesses, and comprehending the impacts of processing and storage. Furthermore, the progress in computer science and information technology has led to continuous advancements in the metabolomic technologies used in this sector.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest breakthroughs in metabolomic technologies that have been developed for assessing agricultural goods and diets. The subjects that will be discussed include the use of metabolomic technology to assess and analyze agricultural goods and foods, as well as methodological progress in metabolomic analysis employing agricultural and food-related big data.

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.
