Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food quality and safety are both prominent topics in food science research. In this context, it is essential that reliable systems for the detection, elimination, and control of risks posed by hazardous substances are developed. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), a powerful molecular spectroscopy technique, is based on the enhancement of the inelastic scattering from molecules located near nanostructured metallic surfaces, which is different from the gold standard method, chromatography, mass spectroscopy, or other spectroscopy methods. SERS provides analytical compositional information, is able to provide characteristic vibrational fingerprints of molecules, and is especially useful in the ‘Recognition’ and ‘Behavior analysis’ of both food ingredients and pollutants. This Special Issue aims to disseminate recent advances in innovative applications of SERS for food and agricultural product quality, nutrition and safety determination, the innovative applications of food science are also welcomed.

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.
