Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is a holistic Special Issue that will cover state-of-the-art of innovative analytical methodologies that can be employed in virtually any research field, from science and engineering to biochemistry, chemistry, and green-chemistry and to (bio)polymers, biology, ecology, environment and pollution, microbiology, agri-food (e.g., dairy, feed, pet food, meat, juices, refrigerants, beer, wine), enzymology, biotechnology, biomedicine, biomaterials, bioengineering, etc. The main focus of this Special Issue is to describe the development and optimization of novel analytical methodologies for the selective extraction, separation, identification, and purification of high-added value compounds or fractions from virtually any matrix, such as from chemicals, agriculture, and industrial by-products and wastes; microbial metabolites from fermentation processes by yeasts, molds and bacteria; or compounds from algae and microalgae. Any type of high-added value compound, such as chemicals, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, bioenergy (e.g., biofuel, bioethanol, biobutanol, biohydrogen), and biofertilizers will be considered. Likewise, the application of any type of analytical methodology, such as separation techniques (TLC, HPLC, GLC), mass spectrometry (GC-MSn, LC-MSn, HRMS, etc.), and spectroscopy (NMR, NIR, FT-IR, FTIR-PAS) as well as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics approaches are also welcome.

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.
