Dear Colleagues,

Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions of all biological and non-biological components of foods. It has involved the identification and isolation of constituents, analytical characterization, chemical structure, biological activity, bioaccessibility and bioavailability of molecules/constituents, fermentation changes, biosynthesis, etc. in food. Food chemistry is also about modern packaging and food storage methods. New food information will enable the design of new functional and dietary foods.

With the main aim of sharing the latest research results of food chemistry, and giving voice to young researchers, we have set up this Special Issue of Molecules. Where we want to collect original research articles, communications and reviews on any topic related to food chemistry, in which young researchers play a prominent role (first author and/or corresponding author, shared or not with a senior author).

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
