Research and Application of Food By-Products

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue of Molecules entitled “Research and Application of Food By-Products” is to present research on the application of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular analysis, physical analysis, and microstructure observation in the study of food byproducts. Additionally, methods of processing raw materials and optimization of the food production process with food byproducts can be presented. Therefore, in this Special Issue, I encourage you to provide the latest scientific news, insights, and advances in the field analysis and processing of food byproducts.

Research on food byproducts and their use in food production is the latest research trend and may also have a positive impact on waste management. Waste raw materials are rich in fiber, protein, minerals, and other nutrients. Moreover, such products made with their participation may be characterized by high antioxidant activity.

This Special Issue aims to publish studies on the latest scientific news, insights, and advances in the field of food byproduct analysis and processing. Research on the quality, molecular characterization, chemical composition, phytochemicals, polyphenolic compounds, bioactive compounds, and anti-nutritional substances found in food byproducts can be submitted.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: the use of analytical chemistry, molecular analysis, physical analysis, and microstructure observation of food byproducts. In addition, the way of processing raw materials and the optimization of the production process of food products with waste additives are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
