Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality review papers in the field of food chemistry research, for which the Editorial Board Members of the journal Molecules, Section “Food Chemistry”, and other researchers working in the field are invited to contribute.

Following the great success of the 1st Edition, we are now launching the 2nd Edition of this Special Issue. You can find the first edition here:

https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules/special_issues/6FL8Z81451

We are welcoming proposals for review articles in this dynamically developing discipline in relation to fundamental and applied research in all food-related domains. In particular, reviews on the most recent analytical approaches to extract, detect, and quantify food bioactive and toxic components; bioaccessibility; and bioavailability studies on the development of food supplements and functional foods will be taken into consideration. Moreover, other topics that will be considered are food safety, food physicochemical properties, food packaging, and the recycling of agro-food waste for non-nutritional/food use.

We invite and encourage all research groups covering various areas of food chemistry to make contributions to this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Fei Tao
Guest Editor
