Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food allergenicity is a critical issue affecting global public health, food safety, and the food industry. Recent advancements in molecular biology, immunology, and food technology have led to new insights into allergen identification, detection, and mitigation strategies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of food allergenicity by integrating molecular research, technological advancements, and practical applications to enhance food safety and consumer health.
We welcome original research and review articles on topics including:
- Molecular and immunological mechanisms of food allergenicity;
- Advances in food allergen detection: biosensors, mass spectrometry, and immunoassays;
- Role of gut microbiota in food allergy development and tolerance;
- Genetic and biotechnological strategies for allergen reduction in novel foods;
- Food processing techniques to mitigate allergenicity;
- Development of hypoallergenic food alternatives and novel protein sources;
- Personalized nutrition approaches to managing food allergies.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
