Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The food matrix is a complex mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, antioxidants, aromas, pigments, minerals, water, and other metabolites. Instrumental analysis is essential for the accurate determination of components, residues, and contaminants in food products in order to ensure quality and safety requirements. In this Special Issue, we will publish innovative research and review papers on instrumental analytical techniques applied to the characterization of food composition, structure, physicochemical properties, and sensory attributes. Extraction methods (microextraction, supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted processes, etc), spectroscopic techniques (ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, photoluminescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy, atomic absorption, atomic emission and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy), chromatography (gas chromatography, high performance and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography, and ion chromatography), mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques, electroanalytical methods (potentiometry, voltammetry, polarography, coulometry, and conductometry), capillary electrophoresis, thermal analysis, molecular techniques, textural and rheological analysis, microscopy (confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and atomic force microscopy), miniaturization, automation, and multivariate analysis (flow injection analysis, microfluidics, chemosensors, and biosensors) are specifically welcome.

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.
