Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series in “Novel Food Processing Technology and Their Development in New Products”
This special issue belongs to the section “Food Engineering and Technology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, novel processing technologies have been developed due to the increasing consumer demand for healthy, delicious and nutritional foods. Many novel technologies, such as high hydrostatic pressure and pulsed electric fields, have attracted the attention of food manufacturers, due to their minor effects on food quality, compared with conventional thermal processing. In-depth research on these new technologies and their applications in novel foods is of significance to the developments in food science innovations and emerging technologies.
The present Special Issue aims to provide original research or reviews in the field of a) the development of emerging technologies used in foods; b) the relationship between processing and the macro- and micro-scale structure properties of novel foods; c) the characterization of flavour quality and functional properties of novel foods; d) the evaluation of sensory quality/consumer preferences of novel foods.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
