Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety has become a major global public health concern because of its impacts on public health and the international food trade. Contaminants in food, such as pathogens, toxins, pesticides, veterinary drugs, heavy metals, and illegal additives, pose a serious threat to human health. Developing advanced techniques for the detection and control of these food contaminants is urgent. This Special Issue entitled “Analysis and Detection Technology of Food Contaminants” aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their developments in the analysis and detection technology of food contaminants, including, but are not limited to, the colorimetric method, fluorescence method, electrochemical method, chemiluminescence method, and other novel methods. Here, we sincerely invite authors to contribute original research articles or review articles covering the most recent analysis and detection technologies.
