Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Molecules addresses new contributions related to the development and application of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensors in the field of Food Science.
SERS is an attractive technique and a versatile analytical tool in the field of Food Science. SERS-based analyses are platforms for the detection of pesticides, antibiotics, pathogens, and toxins to be reported. In general, SERS-based sensors have the advantages of being simple to conduct, rapid to respond, ultra-sensitive, and capable to provide fingerprint spectra of analytes. This Special Issue aims to draw a picture of the recent advances of SERS-based sensors in the field of Food Science, including but not limited to chemical and bacterial contaminants detection and food authenticity analysis.
We invite authors to submit both original and review articles dealing with the development and application of SERS-based sensors, focusing on SERS-based sensors for food safety and quality 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. 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.
