Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a diverse group of carbon-based molecules which gain a lot of scientific attention in the last years. VOCs are responsible for the aroma of food products, can inform about metabolic changes in the body, can signal molecules for plant and bacteria, and play a role in the environment. The constant development of the analytical methods used for VOCs detection is on the rise, allowing for better profiling of several chemical classes in various matrices and better understanding the roles of VOCs. The increasing number of studies shows that VOCs possess different biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, and others. The most interesting topic is the formation of VOCs during processing, discovering the metabolic pathways and possibilities of their modification allowing to obtain desired products of defined flavor properties.
This Special Issue is going to summarize the recent findings related to VOCs detected in various matrices such as biological fluids (breath, blood, urine, feces, saliva, etc.), bacterial cultures, plants, food, and environmental samples. This Special Issue will be covering various topics, including but not limited to analytical advancements, biomedical/medical application of VOCs analysis, biomarker discovery, food aroma, and forensic and environmental sciences. Studies on the application of omics approaches are 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. Gases is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
