Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Guest Editors of the Special Issue below, we would like to invite you to contribute a paper that focuses on “Nutrition and Sensory Analysis of Food”. Over recent decades, there has been a growing consumer interest in healthy foods with a particular focus on nutritional composition. Given the evidence that health maintenance is a function of diet and nutrition, the modern consumer considers nutritious foods more and more as an important part of health behaviour. A large impact on the health-promoting properties of food is due to the presence of biologically active compounds. The determination of their content, biological availability and physiological impact is very important. On the other hand, the sensory properties of foods are also an important reason for eating them. Analysis of foods is continuously requesting the development of more robust, efficient, and sensitive analytical methodologies to guarantee the quality and safety of foods.
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to the analysis of nutritional and sensory properties of various food, including recent developments and applications of modern instrumental analytical techniques to detect compounds of significance to food science and technology. Research articles, reviews, and mini-reviews on the various aspects of plant- and animal-based products are invited for submission.
