Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ensuring the quality and safety of dairy products remains a top priority in food science and public health. With increasing consumer demand for transparency, authenticity, and nutritional value, there is a growing need for advanced, reliable, and rapid detection technologies throughout the dairy supply chain. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and innovative applications in analytical methods and sensor technologies designed to monitor and assess the quality, safety, traceability, and authenticity of dairy foods. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel approaches in spectroscopic analysis, chromatography, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip systems, and multi-omics tools. Particular attention will be given to integrated platforms and data fusion strategies that combine chemical, microbiological, and physical analyses to provide a comprehensive assessment of dairy matrices. Contributions focusing on real-time monitoring, non-destructive testing, and high-throughput screening are especially welcome. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and regulatory agencies to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that highlight recent progress and emerging trends in this field.
Dr. Gabriele Rocchetti

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.
