Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, “Review Papers in Analytical Chemistry, 2nd Edition”, Molecules intends to publish high-quality review papers and critical overviews addressing the elucidation of fundamental and/or applicative aspects and new developments of cutting-edge analytical chemistry research, aiming to help analytical chemists and other users of analytical techniques.

The subjects can encompass all branches of modern analytical chemistry such as spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, and trace analysis and their applications in areas such as analytical instrumentation, environmental analysis and monitoring, biomedical analysis, biomolecular analysis, biosensors, chemical analysis, chemometrics, clinical chemistry, drug discovery, the pharmaceutical industry, food analysis, forensic science, laboratory automation, materials science, metabolomics, pesticide residue analysis, surface science, water analysis, and monitoring automation. Review articles should bring the expert up to date in a concise manner and provide researchers with an overview of new techniques and methods.

Distinguished researchers from all over the world are invited to contribute to this Special Issue. In order to avoid overlapping topics, potential contributors/invited authors are kindly requested to submit a tentative article title and a one- or two-page description/table of contents to the editors for pre-evaluation.

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.

The widespread use of β-lactam antibiotics in veterinary medicine and food production has contributed to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing significant health risks to humans. This issue is recognized by various regulatory agencies, which settled maximum residue limits (MRLs) for antibiotics in animal-derived foods. To adhere to these regulations, sensitive and selective methods are required for monitoring antibiotic residues. Due to the critical importance of sample preparation in the analysis, numerous extraction techniques have been developed. This review focuses on various methodologies for extracting β-lactam antibiotics from different food matrices. The paper summarizes the procedures for the extraction of β-lactam antibiotics identified in the literature, indicating their detailed methodology. The summary may be useful for any laboratories preparing new applications for the determination of antibiotics in food. Research studies analyzed in the paper were collected from databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. After a close evaluation of about 200 articles (published between 2010 and 2024), 35 of them, which met the criteria, were included in the analysis. Full article
