Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The theme of this Special Issue of Foods is "Cutting-Edge Processing Technologies Shaping the Future of the Food Industry". Consumer desire to accommodate varying lifestyles, as well as trends in diet and wellness, is driving ongoing change in the food sector. Additionally, the growing concern about creating processed foods that are healthier and more sustainable is being highlighted. Sustainable options that use fewer resources, valorize by-products, and optimize food processes are required to create high-quality, safe, and healthy food. Waste should also be considered and reduced. Therefore, research findings and/or quality reviews on innovative and cutting-edge technological approaches connected to food product processing are welcome to be submitted for this Special Issue.
Dr. Rui M. S. Cruz
