Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent successes of proteomics methodologies make them a favorable strategy for food science studies, where research institutions, agencies, industries, and regulatory laboratories are combining efforts to acquire the needed knowledge on food composition, quality, safety, and bioactivity.
In this Special Issue, we will look at the latest advances in techniques and applications of proteomics in food analysis.
The latest advances in bottom–up proteomics techniques, shotgun proteomics, top–down proteomics, targeted proteomics, modoficomics, data-dependent acquisition (DDA), data-independent acquisition (DIA) strategies, and protein-chips/biosensors applied to food analysis are included in this Special Issue.
Thus, the power of these methodologies allows the food characterization, food authenticity, identification of quality markers, detection of food allergens, food microorganism detection, detection of food parasites, food processing analysis, identification and study of bioactive food compounds, bioinformatics analysis of food components and by-products, and the metabolic and systems biology study of food components from a nutritional or functional point of view, among others.

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.
