Advancements in Analytical Chemistry for the Analysis and Detection of Food and Environment

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advancements in analytical chemistry have significantly enhanced our ability to profile qualitatively/quantitatively various chemical compounds in food and environmental samples. Modern techniques such as chromatography, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy, as well as emerging nanotechnology, novel big data collection/processing, and artificial intelligence, have enabled speedy analysis and precise identification, even at trace levels, of innumerable chemicals in the food and environment. These advancements warrant food product quality and safety by meeting stringent regulatory standards and play a pivotal role in environmental protection/management by monitoring pollution levels in various ecosystems. This Special Issue aims to collect articles on advanced analytical strategies/procedures for analyzing and detecting chemical compounds in food and environmental samples. Original research, short communications, and reviews that explore cutting-edge techniques and methodologies in this critical field are welcomed. It is hoped that further collaborations in this critical field will be inspired by showcasing these advancements.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
