Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the issue of food safety and quality is a great public concern. The non-destructive detection technique (NDDT) has emerged as a powerful analytical tool in the food industries. In order to satisfy the demands of consumers and obtain superior food qualities, NDDT methods are required for quality evaluation. NDDT methods (such as near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy (FS), hyperspectral imaging (HSI), terahertz spectroscopy, X-ray imaging methods, and thermal imaging) have provided interesting and promising results in detecting a variety of foods.
The NDDT allows for the simultaneous measurement of chemical data from food without destruction of the substance. Additionally, the NDDT can obtain both quantitative and qualitative data at the same time without separate analyses. This Special Issue aims to collect recent and novel applications of NDDT methods in relation to food quality and safety.

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.
