Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue is dedicated to the latest advancements in Green Analytical Chemistry as it pertains to the assessment of chemical risks in foods. We invite contributions that showcase innovative analytical methods, techniques, and protocols designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing the accuracy and sensitivity of food safety assessments. The focus will be on studies that employ green chemistry principles to develop sustainable solutions for the detection and quantification of chemical contaminants in food matrices.
Key Topics (but not limited to):
- Development of green extraction techniques for food samples analysis;
- Application of green solvents and reagents in food analysis;
- Implementation of green sensors and biosensors for food safety;
- Green methods for the detection of pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and other pollutants in food;
- Strategies for reducing solvent usage, waste generation, and energy consumption in food analysis;
- Validation and comparison of green analytical methods with traditional approaches.
