Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Analytical and chemometric tools in food science are linked to the application of advanced analytical techniques, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC MS), liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (MS), diode array detection (DAD), capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (CE MS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, and hyperspectral and digital imaging. These analytical techniques enable researchers to study the conditions of nutritional exposure conditions and understand food composition (macro, micronutrients, bioactive molecules, or contaminants) and the influence of this on the composition, quality and safety of food. Given the wide range of variables generated by these analytical techniques, the application of multivariate methods in food analytical chemistry studies is essential for various purposes. These methods facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of food chemistry and science by leveraging chemometric tools to ensure precise interpretation of the results.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide thorough reviews of the latest advancements in the field of food analytical chemistry combined with chemometrics. These reviews will encompass a range of topics, including sampling, experimental design, data preprocessing, data projection and exploration methods, multi-way calibration and pattern recognition, as well as data fusion strategies and development of analytical methods applied to food analysis.

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.
