Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food analysis is crucial for food quality and safety control. Studies in food analysis are focused mainly on the nutritional value of the final product, food freshness, supplementary materials added or toxic components spontaneously occurring in the product or during the food processing, and the effect of processing or storage on food composition, texture, and microbiological quality. Food analysis has been considered a great, complicated challenge. In this regard, food analysis should be seriously considered, and detection procedures continually improved. In comparison with conventional techniques in food analysis such as chromatographic or spectrometric methods, electrochemical (bio)sensors possess some incontestable benefits. One of the most sensitive, simplest, and most selective type of chemical sensors are electrochemical (bio)sensors that have been widely used in food analysis. Electrochemical (bio)sensors have been proposed as tools with the ability to sense physicochemical or biological alterations in analytes and convert them into measurable voltammetry, amperometry, and impedance electrochemical signals. Electrochemical sensors operate via the redox reaction of analytes over the working electrode surface and produce an electrical signal that is proportional to the analyte concentration. Therefore, analytes in food with electrochemical operations may be immediately sensed by electrochemical sensors.
The aim of this collection is to present a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on the application of electrochemical devices in 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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
